... virtually any suitable process may be implemented to convert the set of input signals (i.e., sensor signals) to output signals (i.e., gesture messages) that correspond to a behavior in an application or operating system shell.

OBS

French

Domaine(s)
  • Communication non verbale (Psychologie)
  • Collaboration avec l'OMPI
CONT

[...] si reconstruire le message oral sous la forme d'une suite de mots s'avère possible, reconstruire un message gestuel est autrement plus difficile. Cela nécessite de définir un lexique et une syntaxe du geste et de contraindre la reconnaissance, ce qui va à l'encontre de notre approche fondée sur la spontanéité de la communication.

OBS

message gestuel : désignation validée par des spécialistes canadiens de l'Université Concordia, de l'Université Dalhousie, de l'Université Laval et de Microsoft Canada.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Comunicación no verbal (Psicología)
  • Colaboración con la OMPI
CONT

Las investigaciones sistemáticas de la comunicación no verbal, comenzaron a partir de 1950, dando lugar incluso a la nueva ciencia, la kinesia, que trata de estudiar los mensajes gestuales que envía todo el cuerpo, ya sea de modo consciente o inconsciente, ya que existen algunos gestos ejecutados de modo deliberado, buscando respuesta inmediata, mientras hay otro tipo de gestos independientes de cualquier cultura determinada, es decir aquellos que hemos heredado y tienen validez [...] Estos gestos no se aprenden, sino que se heredan como si nuestro cerebro estuviera programado genéticamente para emitir y reconocer los sentimientos básicos.
