[289] characterize several classes of gesture:
- Symbolic:
- conventional, context-independent, and typically
unambiguous expressions (e.g., ``OK'' or peace signs)
- Deictic:
- gestures that point to entities, analogous to natural
language deixis (e.g. ``this is not that'' or ``put that there'')
- Iconic:
- gestures that are used to display objects, spatial
relations, and actions (e.g., illustrating the orientation of two
robots at a collision scene)
- Pantomimic:
- gestures that display an invisible object or tool
(e.g., making a fist and moving to indicating a hammer)
