Gesture-based interaction: concept map and application scenarios.

Abstract

Abstract?Nowadays the new interaction forms proposed tend not to be limited by graphic interfaces and make human computer interaction . Nowadays, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is not limited by Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). There is a tendency to make it more natural and human. This paper presents a novel interaction approach within the scope of gesture-based interfaces, and some practical consequences of adopting this approach. Thus, we redefine the concept of gesture based on the sum of three interrelated concepts (the Para-language, the Body language and the Sound language). The relationships among these concepts are expressed in a conceptual map through parameterized links. Finally the article shows how the combination of the link parameters yields to the definition of a specific application scenario. The result of the identification of these scenarios opens new horizons towards the identification of new ways of gesture-based interaction.
