Characteristics of hand gesture navigation

Abstract

The understanding of characteristics of gestures, such as ergonomic, cognitive and social aspects could potentially contribute to an interface design mediated by hand gestures. In this research, a questionnaire model is implemented to suggest some guidelines about the use and gestures of MYO armband in a map application. The user-feedback and observations found during our testing have led us to offer some practical insights to designers and developers on how the prototype of gesture applications on MYO can be extended.
