3D pointing devices are indispensable in virtual reality (hereafter VR) and human-robot interaction scenarios. Existing devices are cumbersome or non-immersive or have a limited volume of operation. Hand gesture-based interfaces do not suffer from these problems and can be used for 3D pointing purposes. However, there is a lack of robust, accurate hand gesture-based pointing techniques which can b...
