Primary and secondary pragmatic functions of pointing gestures
This article presents a study of a set of pointing gestures produced together with speech in a corpus of video-recorded ‘‘locality description’’ interviews in rural Laos. In a restricted set of the observed gestures (we did not consider gestures with special hand shapes, gestures with arc/tracing motion, or gestures directed at referents within physical reach), two basic formal types of pointin...
متن کاملTemporal and Spatial Aspects of Pointing Gestures
The detailed and profound understanding of the temporal and spatial organisation of human pointing actions is key to enable developers to build applications that successfully incorporate multimodal human computer interaction. Rather than discussing an ideal detection method for manual pointing we will discuss crucial aspects of pointing actions in time and space to develop the right solution fo...
متن کاملEarly Pointing Gestures in Zinacantán
Starting with naturally occurring (proto) pointing gestures of two infants, I examine the role and nature of early gesture in language acquisition and socialization in the Tzotzil-speaking community of Zinacantán, in Chiapas, Mexico. Early “words” are, not surprisingly, only part of the story, since verbalizations are embedded in wider communicative routines which characteristically involve ges...
متن کاملPointing Gestures and Synchronous Communication Management
The focus of this paper is on pointing gestures that do not function as deictic pointing to a concrete referent but rather as structuring the flow of information. Examples are given on their use in giving feedback and creating a common ground in natural conversations, and their meaning is described with the help of semantic themes of the Index Finger Extended gesture family. A communication mod...
متن کاملPointing and Command Gestures for Augmented Reality
Wearable computing and Augmented Reality applications call for less obtrusive and more intuitive human computer interfaces than keyboards and mice. One way to realize such interfaces is using gestures, e.g., for pointing in order to replace the mouse. The less obtrusive way of gesture recognition is to use computer vision based methods. In this paper we present a computer vision-based gesture i...
