This looks very interesting indeed! And timely too, as there should be ample opportunity to test these ideas out in the coming six months. Here are some comments and further ideas: Regions - there may also be a need to specify the reverse - areas where gestures are not recognized. Typical example would be a canvas with icons on it. Features - I suppose those are restricted to temporal changes, in addition to static features of the contact set. I take it you mean to specify this set further, based on 2D and/or 3D projections? Gesture - I have found it useful to organize gestures into hierarchies, such that some gestures may hold or cancel other gestures. A way to specify such relations in the language might be useful. And there is the question of state. Part of the ideas floating around here are based on gestural modifications of a state. Understanding and specifying the rules for state transitions might be very powerful in practise.
