Abstract Computer-human interaction plays an important role in virtual reality. Glove-based input devices have many desirable features which make direct interactions between the user and the virtual world possible. However, due to the complexity of the human hand, recognising hand functions precisely and efficiently is not an easy task. Existing algorithms are either imprecise or computationally expensive, making them impractical to integrate with VR applications, which are usually very CPU intensive. In the problem of posture and gesture recognition, both the sample patterns stored in the database and the ones to be recognised may be imprecise. This kind of imprecise knowledge can be best dealt with using fuzzy logic. A fast and simple posture recognition method using fuzzy logic is presented in this paper. Our model consists of three components: the posture database, the classifier and the identifier. The classifier roughly classifies the sample postures before they are put into the posture database. The identifier compares an input posture with the records in the identified class and finds the right match efficiently. Fuzzy logic is applied in both the classification and identification processes to cope with imprecise data. The main goal of this method is to recognise hand functions in an accurate and efficient manner. The accuracy, efficiency and the noise tolerance of the model have been examined through a number of experiments.
