Gesture in Human-Computer Interaction

International workshop series continued since 1996

The international gesture workshops are interdisciplinary events for those researching gesture-based communication and wishing to meet and exchange ideas across disciplines. A focus of these events is a shared interest in using gesture and sign language in human-computer interaction. The 1996 gesture workshop in York, UK, organized by Philip Harling and Alistair Edwards is considered the starting event. Henceforth international gesture workshops have been held roughly every second year, with fully reviewed post-proceedings typically published by Springer-Verlag.

Do you have any questions related to previous and future workshops, proceedings, etc.?
This is why this website was created, not only to answer some of those questions in more detail but also as a permanent reference and portal for those interested in the workshop series and their proceedings. It will hopefully prove helpful to those wishing to join, or further interact with, an interdisciplinary and international gesture community.
