g-stalt: a chirocentric, spatiotemporal, and telekinetic gestural interface

In this paper we present g-stalt, a gestural interface for interacting with video. g-stalt is built upon the g-speak spatial operating environment (SOE) from Oblong Industries. The version of g-stalt presented here is realized as a three-dimensional graphical space filled with over 60 cartoons. These cartoons can be viewed and rearranged along with their metadata using a specialized gesture set. gstalt is designed to be chirocentric, spatiotemporal, and telekinetic.
