- Abstract
- Gesture-based interaction constitutes an increasingly important paradigm for interactive systems, enabling more natural and expressive forms of input. This paper presents a series of interactive demonstrations of gesture-based systems that integrates multiple recognition techniques and supports both predefined and user-defined gestures. The system enables real-time comparison between template-based and invariant gesture recognizers, thereby exposing trade-offs between robustness, flexibility, and usability. By allowing users to define and evaluate their own gestures, the demonstrations highlight the benefits of combining user-centered design with robust recognition techniques. The demonstrations range from contact-based devices, such as tactile surfaces, for 2D multi-stroke gestures to contact-less devices for 3D dynamic gestures, such as wearable devices, optical sensors, and radars.
