Mogeste: A mobile tool for in-situ motion gesture design

Abstract:

Motion gestures can be expressive, fast to access and perform, and facilitated by ubiquitous inertial sensors. However, implementing a gesture recognizer requires substantial programming and pattern recognition expertise. Although several graphical desktop-based tools lower the threshold of development, they do not support ad hoc development in naturalistic settings. We present Mogeste, a mobile tool for in-situ motion gesture design. Mogeste allows interaction designers to within minutes envision, train, and test motion gesture recognizers using inertial sensors in commodity devices. Furthermore, it enables rapid creative exploration by designers, at any time and within any context that inspires them. By supporting data collection, iterative design, and evaluation of envisioned gestural interactions within the context of its enduse, Mogeste reduces the gap between development and usage environments. In addition to the design and implementation of Mogeste, we also present findings from a user study with 7 novice designers.
