Measuring and Reconstructing Pointing in Visual Contexts

چکیده
We describe an experiment to gather original data on geometrical aspects of pointing. In particular, we are focusing upon the concept of the pointing cone, a geometrical model of a pointing’s extension. In our setting we employed methodological and technical procedures of a new type to integrate data from annotations as well as from tracker recordings. We combined exact information on position and orientation with rater’s classifications. Our first results seem to challenge classical linguistic and philosophical theories of demonstration in that they advise to separate pointings from reference.

متن کاملLearning visuo-motor coordination for pointing without depth calculation
Pointing refers to orienting a hand, arm, head or body towards an object and is possible without calculating the object’s depth and 3D position. We show that pointing can be learned as holistic direct mapping from an object’s pixel coordinates in the visual field to joint angles, which define pose and orientation of a human or robot. To this aim, we record real world and noisy training images t...
متن کاملThe Study of Perception and Expression of Nouns and Reliability of Two Visual Comprehension and Expression of Nouns Tests in Mild-Moderate Hearing Loss Children
Background and Objective: Children with hearing loss demonstrate cognitive, communication, speech and language deficits. Poor organization in mental lexicon and reduction in vocabulary are the obvious consequences of hearing loss. The main objective of this study was to evaluate perception and expression of nouns, and test-retest reliability of two picture-pointing and picture-naming tests,...
متن کاملThe Role of Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus in the Integration of Pointing Gestures and Speech
Comprehension of pointing gestures is fundamental to human communication. However, the neural mechanisms that subserve the integration of pointing gestures and speech in visual contexts in comprehension are unclear. Here we present the results of an fMRI study in which participants watched images of an actor pointing at an object while they listened to her referential speech. The use of a misma...

This study aims at empirically measuring a universal criterion for materials evaluation, i.e., learning opportunities, in a locally- and a globally-designed materials. Adopting the conceptual framework of sociocultural theory and its conceptualization of learning as participation (Donato, 2000), the researchers utilized the methodological power of conversation analysis to examine how opportunit...
