So I gather a collection of\u00a0gestures<\/strong><\/span> (that later will turn into my pool of tests for users analyse user behaviour –\u00a0prior <\/strong>to defining the gestures for my dj system) by means of observation of multiple systems and multitouch demos:<\/p>\n

a) Reactable <\/em><\/h1>\n

(<\/em>note<\/em><\/strong>: the reactable relies mainly on tangible objects, but parameter changes are done via gestures\/touch, so its a interface worth of researching..)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"reactableGesture1\"\"ReactableGesture2\"
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Gathered info from:\u00a0Luckly, <\/span><\/span>I’ve used the Reactable once – after a concert\/showcase integrated in a festival where I played with\u00a0Whit <\/a>– and got a first person experience with the incredible interface. Also I’ve seen it being performed live 2 times in Portugal and there’s a bunch of videos out there<\/a> for analysis. On a more technical note, you can acess the articles on the Reactable project at the archive page from\u00a0UPF<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

b) tbeta demos<\/h1>\n

(i.e.: the very popular photo <\/strong>demo, <\/strong>google maps navigation and etc…)<\/p>\n

\"TbetaDemosGesture1\"<\/p>\n

\"TbetaDeosGesture2\"<\/p>\n

\"TbetaDemosGesture3\"<\/p>\n

\n

Gathered info from<\/em><\/strong>: from the demos package available on the\u00a0NUI group page.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

c) surface<\/h1>\n

(note: the surface has pretty much the same gestures as the rest of MT tables)<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SurfaceGesture1\"
\n<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Gathered info from: <\/em>Microsoft is a closed one, but I’ve tryed surface recently on the Mix event – where I saw the talk of August de los Reyes (director of the\u00a0projec<\/a>t) – and had my first person experience with the product there. Also there are a lot of videos<\/a> to analyze the type of gestures mainly used but theres a void of technical information available.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

d) iPhone and similar PDA\/mobile devices<\/h1>\n

\"MobileGestures1\"\"MobileGestures2\"<\/p>\n

Gathered info from: <\/em><\/strong>Recently I participated in the Future Places<\/a> festival and in the final day I played with the THE FUTURE PLACES IMPROMPTU ALL-STARS ORCHESTRA, which gathers many artists to improv with music – luckly there was two guys playing with iPhone apps – one using sounds to feed an analogue synth and other using a touch app that sequenced music and sounds. Whatching them interact with those portable “instruments” told me a lil’ something about the gestures.<\/p>\n

And: <\/em><\/strong>Also I’ve seen and tryed myself apps for iPhone that use gesture recognition to extend the capabilities of touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
