Dan Saffer's work seems to be the definitive place to start. Here are a few other ideas: all somewhat non-specific but they may help. There's a new chapter book edited by Kortum: "Beyond the GUI". Each chapter has a description and guidelines for a different type of non-GUI interface including haptics etc. I reviewed the chapters in draft but I haven't yet seen the published book. I can't remember if it has just what you need but it's probably worth a good look for the references alone. (Academic book, lots of refs in it). A lot of the Australians are very interested in remote working and the interpretation of gestures involved in remote working - it's natural given their geography. (e.g., doctors remote from patients). There were some interesting presentations on this at OzCHI 2007. I'm not sure that they are exactly what you want but again, it might give you some references to follow up. I was just reading some reports of CHI2008 on www.usabilitynews.com. It seems that there was quite a bit on non-traditional interfaces - those might also be a place to start looking.
