Subjective Evaluations of an Experimental Gesturephone

This paper presents the findings of our subjective evaluations on the integration of gestures in telecommunication. The experimental setup for tracking and imitating the human arm gesture are described. Our research investigates the possibility of transferring this often overlooked communication medium in our daily communication, for its application in telecommunication using robotics. Based on the subjective evaluation, a maximum allowable delay for an imperceptible gesture reconstruction in the lateral setup is suggested.
