I am developing a program which is capable of recognizing several hand gestures. Now the requirement needs a language using the hand gestures. So, how can i construct one?
My current idea is using regular expressions and Backus Naur Form to define the syntax, but I get stuck in the design.
PLUS :
- the gestures are merely finger position although it can track when you move
- the exact number of the gesture is 5
- as for the nouns or verbs which the gestures referred to, currently I really have no idea how to assign them.
- I am not permitted to post images of the gesture, otherwise it will be
more clear
Thanks for any ideas
Depending on how complicated the gestures can be, you may want to take a look at the gestures used in American Sign Language. While it can be very elaborate in some cases (for example, motion and facial expression can greatly change the meaning of the sign), it is also very elegant in how it handles complicated ideas and thoughts. While this won’t solve your problem directly, it may give you some ideas. There are resources available online to see the various hand gestures, etc.
