About:
The Gesture Recognition Toolkit (GRT) is a cross-platform, open-source C++ library designed for building real-time gesture recognition systems. It provides a comprehensive suite of machine learning algorithms for time-series classification, enabling developers to create robust interactive systems. Its primary value is abstracting complex ML tasks into a simple, real-time capable API for HCI applications.
Key Features:
  • Real-time time-series classification
  • C++ library with bindings for Python, Node.js, and Java
  • Comprehensive suite of ML algorithms (SVM, KNN, HMM, etc.)
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Use Cases:
  • Interactive art installations and new media projects
  • Wearable sensor data analysis and activity recognition
  • Custom controller development for games and VR/AR
  • Robotics and drone control using gesture inputs
Alternatives:
  • TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers – More focused on deploying pre-trained neural networks on embedded hardware, whereas GRT provides a broader set of algorithms and a framework for training models from scratch specifically for gesture recognition.
  • scikit-learn – A general-purpose Python ML library not optimized for real-time, low-latency time-series classification, lacking GRT's specific focus and architecture for interactive applications.
