Summary

Natural human communication is based on visual and acoustical signals. Thus a technical system needs the same senses to allow intuitive interaction. The acoustical interface has been described in earlier chapters. In this chapter we concentrate on the perception of conscious visual utterances, for example, hand gestures and handling of dedicated (real) objects, e.g., paper documents.
