Abstract

In this paper, we present insights gained from studying the way joints of the body (e.g. hands, elbows and shoulders) move while performing dynamic whole body gestures. We describe how we, through exploring our own movements, came to use statistics typically computed to explain swarm movement (e.g. movement of honey bees). We report a study we conducted in order to investigate the benefit of theses measures in the context of a movement-based target catching game. Participants were able to learn to use these measures for interaction while individual and diverse gestures were supported.
