Progress in Gestural Interaction: Proceedings of Gesture Workshop ’96, March 19th 1996, University of York, UK

This text contains papers presented at the First Gesture Workshop, which was designed to bring together researchers working on gesture-based interfaces and gestural interaction and to provide a forum for the presentation and exchange of ideas and research currently in progress. All aspects of gestural interaction were encompassed, including: what gestures are; appropriateness of gestures used in interfaces; interactional issues; suitable applications; and sign-language recognition. The book should be of interest to researchers in the fields of gestural interaction, human-computer interaction, multi-modal interfaces, automatic sign language interpretation and pattern recognition.
