: This paper introduces use of range information acquired by a CSEM SwissRanger SR-2 camera for view invariant recognition of one and two arms gestures. The range data enables moti...
This paper examines the relationship between gestures' function and form in design collaboration. It adopts a cognitive design research viewpoint. The analysis is restricted t...
In numerous experimental contexts, gesturing has been shown to lighten a speaker's cognitive load. However, in all of these experimental paradigms, the gestures have been dir...
In this work, we present iWalk, a multimedia exploration tool that provides an interactive virtual environment for physically exploring geo-tagged data. This tool is flexible enou...
We examine the problem of automatically selecting gestures that are appropriate to use when telling a joke or a short story. Our current application of this is a joke telling huma...
An approach to gesture recognition is presented in which gestures are modelled probabilistically as sequences of visual events. These events are matched to visual input using prob...
