Summary:By utilizing the technology of Visible Light Sensing in a non Line-of-Sight setup, we present a novel approach for establishing human-system interaction without the necessity for any active sensor or component to be worn by the user. In our proposed system, different wrist postures can be determined by employing a retroreflective foil attached to the wrist of the user in combination with a low-complexity electronic transceiver unit. Our solution approach is verified in two experimental setups and the achieved results depict that our solution cannot only determine the wrist postures with a fine resolution in terms of rotation angle, but that furthermore the rotation direction of the wrist as well as the speed of the rotation movement can be ascertained. In an exemplary real world application, we demonstrate how our system can be used to control the dimming of the room lighting. Moreover, our proposed solution approach combines the obligatory room illumination task of luminaires with a precise sensing functionality and can therefore be easily implemented with low installation effort.
