Posthuman Gesture

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Movement and Computing, 2018
This paper proposes the notion of posthuman gesture as a conceptual framework for approaching the increasingly complex notions of agency within digital instrumental system design and performance. Posthuman gesture is a synthesis of Barad's notion of posthuman performativity and current research of gesture in musical and digital instrument design ...

Gesture with Meaning

2013
Embodied conversational agents (ECA) should exhibit nonverbal behaviors that are meaningfully related to their speech and mental state. This paper describes Cerebella, a system that automatically derives communicative functions from the text and audio of an utterance by combining lexical, acoustic, syntactic, semantic and rhetorical analyses ...

Foreground gesture, background gesture

Gesture, 2017
Abstract Do speakers intend their gestures to communicate? Central as this question is to the study of gesture, researchers cannot seem to agree on the answer. According to one common framing, gestures are an “unwitting” window into the mind (McNeill, 1992); but, according to another common framing, they are designed along with ...

Adversarial gesture generation with realistic gesture phasing

Computers & Graphics, 2020
Abstract Conversational virtual agents are increasingly common and popular, but modeling their non-verbal behavior is a complex problem that remains unsolved. Gesture is a key component of speech-accompanying behavior but is difficult to model due to its non-deterministic and variable nature.

Belly gestures

Proceedings of the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Fun, Fast, Foundational, 2014
Recent HCI research has shown that the body offers an interactive surface particularly suitable to eyes-free interaction. While researchers have mainly focused on the arms and the hands, we argue that the surface of the belly is especially appropriate.

Language as gesture

Human Movement Science, 2009
Language can be understood as an embodied system, expressible as gestures. Perception of these gestures depends on the "mirror system," first discovered in monkeys, in which the same neural elements respond both when the animal makes a movement and when it perceives the same movement made by others. This system allows gestures to be understood in terms

Gestural impairment and gestural ability in aphasia: A review

Brain and Language, 1981
Abstract Studies of gestural ability in aphasic subjects have found impairment of gestural expression and comprehension, with a close relationship between severity of aphasia and degree of gestural impairment. A few investigators have correlated gestural ability with specific language functions or subcategories of aphasia.

From a Typology of Gestures to a Procedure for Gesture Production

2002
A typology of gesture is presented based on four parameters: whether the gesture necessarily occurs with the verbal signal or not, whether it is represented in memory or created anew, how arbitrary or motivated it is, and what type of meaning it conveys.
