Coverbal Iconic Gestures for Object Descriptions in
Virtual Environments: An Empirical Study
Timo Sowa and Ipke Wachsmuth
Abstract
This paper describes an empirical study amied at investigating object
references in Virtual Environments using iconic gestures. Observerations
are focused on spatial concepts conveyed gestually and their relation to
features of the gesture shape. A set of important features and spatial
concepts useful for automated gesture recognition is identified. Based
on these findings we propose a model of iconic reference recognizer.
