Gesture Analysis and Synthesis for Intelligent Tutoring Systems

This work describes a new interaction technique for intelligent tutoring systems based on the integration of results from computer graphics and computer vision. In the last few years this integration has shown important results and applications [Eisert, 98; Pentland, 96]. For example, Richard Szeliski described the use of image mosaics for virtual environments in 1996 and, in the following year for combining multiple images into a single panoramic image. H. Ohzu et al. described hyper-realistic communications for computer supported cooperative work.
