Abstract. This paper presents a project for the social development of ICTs, which used a participatory design approach and sought to have a high social impact on a community of craftswomen (embroiderers from Cartago, Colombia). Participating in this project implied active dialogue with the community to recognize the knowledge of each participant and achieve culturally relevant representations materialized in technological artifacts. We posit dialogue, representation and recognition as key elements for developing successful participatory design. In practice, this was achieved through an iterative, incremental and open-ended methodology, whose main feature was engagement by doing. This process of design allowed engineers to recognize the craftswomen's traditional knowledge and allowed craftswomen to be less afraid of technology. The main resultant artifact was a tangible user interface that facilitates dialogue between fashion designers and embroiderers in the process of designing new embroidery patterns. This and other artifacts that emerged from the activities and dialogues, the level of engagement of the participants, and the convergence points discovered between embroidery and technology, lead us to conclude that the process presented here can be replicated with other craft communities, to reinforce these communities and assist them in generating innovation in their processes and products.
Este artículo presenta una revisión crítica de la interacción humano-computador (HCI) basada en gestos. El gesto, como una forma de comunicación no verbal, ha sido de interés para el área de HCI en la búsqueda de alternativas de interacción entre el humano y la máquina, a través del cuerpo como agente que percibe y actúa en el mundo. La revisión se hizo en las bases de datos de mayor importancia en HCI y en algunas fuentes de literatura académica latinoamericana en el área, e incluye un análisis de la evolución de las interacciones basadas en gestos, el trabajo actual y las perspectivas a futuro. El análisis se desarrolla de forma holística y abarca asuntos técnicos y humanos: psicológicos, sociales y culturales, así como su relación. Este proceso analítico se presenta como una descripción cienciométrica de los resultados de las búsquedas, a fin de exponer el gesto como medio de interacción, las técnicas utilizadas para los diferentes pasos en el proceso de reconocimiento de gestos y las aplicaciones y desafíos de las interacciones basadas en gestos. Como conclusión se formula una serie de preguntas que invitan al lector a pensar en potenciales focos de investigación en las interacciones basadas en gestos.
