Abstract

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 gestures made by the hand and fingers in mid air, fingers against each other, and touches to a table surface. We designed g-stalt to be chirocentric, spatiotemporal, and telekinetic and explore the issue of complexity in gesture sets for this medium.
