ABSTRACT
In Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) movies, filmmakers try to anticipate trends and new forms of interaction. Metaphors are created allowing their characters to interact with devices and futuristic environments. These devices and metaphors may be target of research considering they have proven to be useful before, as for example the Star Trek communicator (1966) similarity to the Motorola StarTAC phone (1996). Moreover, the impact of the new interfaces on the audience may indicate their expectations regarding future gesture interactions. Thus, the goal of this work is to collect and expose a compilation of hand interactions in Sci-Fi movies, providing an open catalog to researchers as resource to future discussions. The data visualization and analysis is facilitated through an open-source web application. Additionally, we classify the collected data according to a series of established criteria and our own knowledge.
