The menu bar contains items that enable you to perform tasks such as opening, closing files and viewing data.
File Menu
Click the File menu item to perform the tasks described next.
| Menu Item | Description | Short Cut |
|---|---|---|
| New Solution | Open a file where you can create a new solution. | CTRL+Shift+N |
| Open Solution | Open a previously created and saved solution. | CTRL+Shift+O |
| Create New Project | Create a new gesture project for the solution. | N/A |
| Add Existing Project | Add an existing gesture project to the solution. | N/A |
| Open Clip as Solution | Open a file from another source that you have saved as a clip. | CTRL+Shift+C |
| Save | Save the selection solution or clip. | CTRL+S |
| Live Preview . . . | Displays the Live Preview results of a gesture database. | N/A |
| Exit | Close the VGB tool. | Alt+F4 |
Explorer Pane
You use the Explorer Pane to navigate projects and clips. To add a project, save the solution, or build the gesture database, right-click on the solution name to open the context menu that supports those actions.
You can choose different types of projects based on the machine learning technology. You can select AdaBoostTrigger Machine Learning or RFRProgress Machine Learning technology.
For each project, you can create a training version and an analysis version.
When you create a project, the VGB tool generates XML files for each clip and adds them to the project. These XML files store tagging information associated with the clip files, which remain unmodified.
View Pane
The view pane displays a view of the sensor data. Use the tabs, 2D or 3D to render either 2D or 3D data.
2D View
