Sumario:The authors discuss advances in gesture-based user interfaces. They mention that the computer mouse only provides two degrees of freedom and despite its simplicity of use can leave people feeling disoriented by their first encounter. They comment on how gesture-based interfaces force users to learn an artificial gestural language and cannot be considered a natural user interface. They talk about how cultural differences influence gestural language and the need to interpret unconscious movements.
