A mix of posts on gesture, HCI, perception or robots and some personal information.
Here is another aspiring wannabee HCI star at the gesture firmament: the gesture watch.
Activate! The Gesture Watch has five infrared sensors, four of which sense any hand motion that occurs above the watch. If the user is wearing the watch on his left hand, he can move his right hand over the watch in an [...]
A scientist called Carol Fowler has apparently done research that mine is related to. I was told so by Dominic Massaro, at the Visual Prosody workshop in Nijmegen MPI. He said that my findings on sign perception are similar to speech perception. Specifically, a delay of about 90 ms between detection and recognition, which I [...]

Two guys in Australia have given humanity the ultimate killer application for gesture recognition:
Just the thing we needed, really. I am going to throw my remote away as soon as I can get this little gem of technology: something that solves the giant problems we are having with TV remote controls (and replaces them with [...]
I am running an experiment on the acceptability of variation in sign language. One of the things that touch upon this matter is sign wellformedness, which supposes a certain sign language phonology with rules that tell whether a sign is wellformed or not. I am not done thinking that one over but it did get [...]
Here is a nice master’s thesis by Chantal Mülders called ‘Can I Learn How to Sign: Exploring aptitude for spoken language and visual stimuli in connection with sign language’. (Master of Arts, Radboud University Nijmegen, 2007). Usually these theses aren’t published but since there is so little published on Sign Language of the Netherlands (SLN) [...]
