Abstract
The advent of modern touchscreen devices has unleashed many opportunities and calls
for innovative use of stroke gestures as a richer interaction medium. A significant
body of knowledge on stroke gesture design is scattered throughout the
Human-Computer Interaction research literature. Primarily based on the authors' own
decade-long gesture user interface (UI) research which launched the word-gesture
keyboard paradigm, Foundational Issues in Touch-Surface Stroke Gesture Design - An
Integrative Review synthesizes some of the foundational issues of human motor
control complexity, visual and auditory feedback, and memory and learning capacity
concerning gesture user interfaces. In the second half of the book a set of gesture
UI design principles is derived from the research literature. The book also covers
system implementation aspects of gesture UI such as gesture recognition algorithms
and design toolkits. Foundational Issues in Touch-Surface Stroke Gesture Design -
An Integrative Review is an ideal primer for researchers and graduate students
embarking on research in gesture interfaces. It is also an excellent reference for
designers and developers who want to leverage insights and lessons learned in the
academic research community.
