Last week at the ICMI 2012 conference, I presented a new gesture recognizer in the $-family, called $P. $P is highly accurate, needing few training examples or templates, and is able to handle gestures made with any number of strokes in any order or direction, but uses simple concepts that make it accessible to those other than experts in machine learning or pattern matching.

We also had some great news at the conference: my co-authors Radu-Daniel Vatavu and Jacob O. Wobbrock and I received an ‘Outstanding Paper Award’ for this paper!
