ABSTRACT:
A pointing gesture, a method of communication using a set of pointing gestures, and mnemonic devices are described used between a sender and a receiver. The pointing gestures are performed by the sender using a gesturing device which comprises a primary indicator and a plurality of ancillary indicators. The pointing gestures are performed by the sender in a field located between the sender and the receiver. The field has a plurality of possible vector patterns created therein. Each vector pattern has a plurality of relocating line and point vectors. In the preferred embodiment, the gesturing device comprises the sender's hand with the index finger serving as the primary indicator and the thumb and middle finger serving as ancillary indicators. Also disclosed herein is a method of communication using a set of thirty-six pointing gestures with each pointing gesture programmed or associated with one communication code. In the preferred embodiment, each code represents one of thirty-six phonemes in a modified set of IPA phonemes. Mnemonic devices are also disclosed herein to help the sender and receiver remember and perform the positions of the pointing gestures and their respective code associations.
