  The appendix with illustrated gestures seemed like a bit much, but it does provide a good example of gesture documentation and the richness of gestures and innate meanings available to us naturally did surprise me at some points.

  Anyway a good starting point and shows once more how very much at the beginning of this development we are.

  Someone had to write this book, and I’m glad Dan Saffer was the one to pick up the gauntlet. This is a solid introduction to the field of gestural interfaces, seen from an interaction design perspective. It is more broad than deep, but in this case (contrary to Saffer’s previous effort) this is not an issue. The main reason for this are the suggestions for further reading that conclude each chapter. Some of these will be familiar to anyone who has been paying attention to the field for some time, but others are more obscure, and therefore very welcome. Recommended.
