Original gesture interfaces for live interactive multimedia performances

Some original gesture recognition devices are here described; sensors typically used in robotics, infra-red beams and CCD cameras video captare analysis, are taken into consideration for developing original devices which get information from human gesture. The basic idea consists of remote sensing, i.e. without mechanical and/or electrical links, moving objects handled by performers or remote sensing gesture of the human body; for controlling interactive live computer music/graphics performances.
