  abstract =   "Optical tracking systems allow three-dimensional input for
               virtual environment applications with high precision and
               without annoying cables. Spontaneous and intuitive
               interaction is possible through gestures. In this paper, we
               present a finger tracker that allows gestural interaction
               and is simple, cheap, fast, robust against occlusion and
               accurate. It is based on a marked glove, a stereoscopic
               tracking system and a kinematic 3-d model of the human
               finger. Within our augmented reality application scenario,
               the user is able to grab, translate, rotate, and release
               objects in an intuitive way. We demonstrate our tracking
               system in an augmented reality chess game allowing a user to
               interact with                 virtual objects.",
