Using an easy and intuitive pointing gesture recognition system, the user is able to interact directly with the artworks, which leads to a deeper involvement with and understanding of the art pieces. The usage of a video-based gesture tracking system ensures seamless integration of Mixed Reality technologies into a traditional museum's environment. Furthermore, it addresses even technically unversed users since no additional physical devices are needed and even no training phase is necessary for the interaction.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.6 [Computer Graphics]: Interaction techniques H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Interaction styles
