User-defined interface gestures : dataset and analysis
Abstract
We present a video-based gesture dataset and a methodology for annotating video-based gesture datasets. Our dataset consists of user-defined gestures generated by 18 participants from a previous investigation of gesture memorability. We design and use a crowd-sourced classification task to annotate the videos. The results are made available through a web-based visualization that allows researchers and designers to explore the dataset. Finally, we perform an additional descriptive analysis and quantitative modeling exercise that provide additional insights into the results of the original study. To facilitate the use of the presented methodology by other researchers we share the data, the source of the human intelligence tasks for crowdsourcing, a new taxonomy that integrates previous work, and the source code of the visualization tool.

A gestural repertoire of 1-to 2-year-old human children : in search of the ape gestures
Kersken, Verena; Gomez, Juan-Carlos; Liszkowski, Ulf; Soldati, Adrian; Hobaiter, Catherine (2019-07) - Journal articleWhen we compare human gestures to those of other apes, it looks at first like there is nothing much to compare at all. In adult humans, gestures are thought to be a window into the thought processes accompanying language, ... -
GesturalOrigins : a bottom-up framework for establishing systematic gesture data across ape species
Grund, Charlotte Vicki Christina; Badihi, Gal; Graham, Kirsty Emma; Safryghin, Alexandra; Hobaiter, Cat (2023-03-15) - Journal articleCurrent methodologies present significant hurdles to understanding patterns in the gestural communication of individuals, populations, and species. To address this issue, we present a bottom-up data collection framework ... -
Referential gestures are not ubiquitous in wild chimpanzees : alternative functions for exaggerated loud scratch gestures

(2022-07) - Journal articleA fundamental aspect of human communication is our ability to refer to external objects and events through both words and gestures (such as pointing), yet the evolutionary origins of such signals remain obscure.
