Home About Agenda Countries ... A Nice Gesture Stories of gesture and sign language, HCI, perception and robots M. Obama and Sembiring: The Handshake that Shook Indonesia In the news today, another wonderful gesture story. An Indonesian politician, Tifatul Sembiring, shook hands with Michelle Obama. Sembiring is a conservative Muslim who states that he should not touch women who aren’t related to him (he avoided doing so while meeting Tsunami victims for example). Sembiring quickly tried to spin the story via Twitter and said: I tried to prevent [being touched] with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me [so] we touched. Countries Gesture Perception Leave a comment Thesis of Mats Andrén For those among you who are interested in good gesture research it may be of interest to know that Mats Andrén, from Lund University, has published (online) his thesis called . So far, I am enjoying reading it very much. Good job, Mats, and good luck with the defense Academia Gesture Perception Gesture Recognition Gesture Semiotics ... What is Social Robotics? Is it possible to give a good definition of social robotics? Is it a field of scientific study or is it only a catch phrase for exciting robot stuff? If it is a field of study, can we identify what belongs to it and what is outside of the field? Should we already set such boundaries or should we wait a while to give maximum growing room to the first seeds being planted by enthusiastic researchers and engineers around the world? Instead of answering these questions here directly, I want to give you two answers of a different kind.

97. Machine Gesture And Sign Language Recognition Resources about using computers to capture and decipher sign languages. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~waleed/gsl-rec/

Machine Gesture and Sign Language Recognition Machine gesture and sign language recognition is, as the name suggests, about recognition of gestures and/or sign language using computers. A number of hardware techniques are used for gathering information about body positioning; typically either image-based (using cameras, moving lights etc) or device-based (using instrumented gloves, styli, position trackers etc.), although hybrids are beginning to come about. However, getting the data is only the first step. The second step, that of recognising the sign or gesture once it has been captured is much more challenging, especially in a continuous stream. In fact currently, this is the focus of the research. This page tries to include links to online information on this subject on the 'Net, and to stay up-to-date as far as conferences and so on are concerned.

99. Language Myths Hugh Young from New Zealand dispels universal myths about sign languages, as well as about Pidgin as Maori. http://www.top.net.nz/~hugh/Vanity/Personal/LanguageMyths.html

Language Myths These language myths all have an underlying theme: " Other people's languages - especially those most different from ours - are inferior to ours. " Our language, the primary way we express ourselves, is one place our insecurities come to a focus, so we feel compelled to minimise the value of other ways of communicating. (This almost automatically gives native bilinguals an edge on the rest of us. They can think in two planes. Learning another language - preferably unrelated to our first - is our best hope of rising above the limitations of our culture.) Below I deal with myths about Pidgin, Sign Languages and Maori Pidgin Myth: "'Bikfala bokis hemi garem plande tit, iu faetem, hemi krae (A big box with many teeth; when you hit it, it cries)' means a piano." (That's what it would be in Solomons Pijin) I have searched far and wide and been unable to find any instance of a speaker of a pidgin ever using an expression like this - nor the corresponding expressions for violin, saw or helicopter. Fact: Life's too short, even in the tropics. The helicopter one ("miksmasta blong Jisas") is further confounded by the fact that helicopters are familiar, mixmasters rare. As someone said, they'd be more likely to call a mixmaster, "helikopta blong Misas." It may be that someone somewhere once
