Gesture Set Tab Tutorial

The Gesture Set Tab as shown in Figure 1, provides functionality to create and manage gesture classes and sets.

Create and Edit Gesture Sets

Gesture sets are created and managed in the Gesture Sets tree view as illustrated in Figure 2 . The sets and the related classes are shown in a tree structure. Each level of the three has a context menu for specific operations. A click on the root node allows the creation of new gesture sets. Alternatively, existing sets can be imported from an XML file.

Figure 3 shows the view that appears when a new set is created. In the text field the set can be named (e.g samples).

The context menu of the gesture set level shown in Figure 4 allows to add gesture classes, delete the set, export the set as XML file or PDF document and create a test set out of the gesture set.

Create and Edit Gesture Classes

After selecting Add Gesture Class option from the context menu in Figure 4, a new view appears where the gesture class can be named (e.g. line) as shown in Figure 5.

Right after the creation of a new gesture class no descriptor is visible. A mouse click in the list with the right button shows the context menu as outlined in Figure 6 . A sample (2D or 3D), a text or a composite descriptor can be added.


Figure 6: Create a new descriptor

Figure shows the two available descriptor frames. The Text Descriptor contains a text field where the description can be made.

In the (3D) Sample Descriptor view the gesture currently shown in the capturing area is added as new sample with a mouse click on the Add Gesture Sample button.
