Abstract

Since their advent, interaction with computers has been a very fascinating field of research. Though, we have come a long way from turning knobs and punching cards to using keyboards and pointing devices, natural language interaction has not seen widespread use as a general means of interaction. The thesis of this paper is that some application fields, specially those dealing with computer graphics, can benefit from the interaction of natural language and hand gestures. This bimodal means of interaction in computer-graphics-based task, complements the deficiencies of just applying either one of the two modes. This paper, describes current research efforts taking place at ATR for combining hand gestures and verbal descriptions for generating, modifying and manipulating 3D computer graphics objects.
