This text contains papers presented at the First Gesture Workshop, which was designed to bring together researchers working on gesture-based interfaces and gestural interaction and to provide a forum for the presentation and exchange of ideas and research currently in progress. All aspects of gestural interaction were encompassed, including: what gestures are; appropriateness of gestures used in interfaces; interactional issues; suitable applications; and sign-language recognition. The book should be of interest to researchers in the fields of gestural interaction, human-computer interaction, multi-modal interfaces, automatic sign language interpretation and pattern recognition.
