ABSTRACT
As researchers and industry alike are proposing TV interfaces that use gestures in their designs, understanding users' preferences for gesture commands becomes an important problem. However, no rules or guidelines currently exist to assist designers and practitioners of such interfaces. The paper presents the results of the first study investigating users' preferences for free-hand gestures when controlling the TV set. By conducting an agreement analysis on user-elicited gestures, a set of gesture commands is proposed for basic TV control tasks. Also, guidelines and recommendations issued from observed user behavior are provided to assist practitioners interested in prototyping free-hand gestural designs for the interactive TV.

User-defined gestures for augmented reality
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsRecently there has been an increase in research of hand gestures for interaction in the area of Augmented Reality (AR). However this research has focused on developer designed gestures, and little is known about user preference and behavior for gestures ...
User-defined gestures for surface computing
CHI '09: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsMany surface computing prototypes have employed gestures created by system designers. Although such gestures are appropriate for early investigations, they are not necessarily reflective of user behavior. We present an approach to designing tabletop ...
