In this thesis, I designed and implemented a gesture-based system to manipulate tangible media. Namely, I created a gesture interface to Google Earth that sends data to a geo-spacial, three-dimensional display called Relief. This thesis is both a demonstration and an attempt to elaborate on the impact of free-hand gesture recognition and the use of tangible media. The project demonstrates the power and limitations of such a combination, with a strong focus on future extensions and directions for the Alps project.

<Abstract>In this thesis, I designed and implemented a gesture-based system to manipulate tangible media. Namely, I created a gesture interface to Google Earth that sends data to a geo-spacial, three-dimensional display called Relief. This thesis is both a demonstration and an attempt to elaborate on the impact of free-hand gesture recognition and the use of tangible media. The project demonstrates the power and limitations of such a combination, with a strong focus on future extensions and directions for the Alps project.</Abstract>
