Natural gesture in descriptive monologues

Published: 30 July 2006 Publication History

Abstract

Gesture plays a prominent role in human-human interaction, and it offers promise as a new modality for human-computer interaction. However, our understanding of gesture is still at an early stage. This study explores gesture in natural interaction and describes how the presence of a display can affect the use of gesture. We identify common gesturing behaviors that, if accommodated, may improve the naturalness and usability of gestural user interfaces.
