Abstract

In the last years, the introduction of new, precise and pervasive tracking devices has contributed to the popularity of gestural interaction. In general, the effectiveness of such interfaces depends on two components: the algorithm used for accurately recognizing the user movements and the guidance provided to users while executing gestures. In this paper, we discuss a work in progress research for connecting these two components and increasing their effectiveness: the recognition algorithm supports the implementation of feedback the and feed-forward mechanisms, providing information on the identified gesture parts in real time, while developers define complex gestures starting from simple primitives.
