I explore, in turn, gesture’s contribution to how language is produced and understood in the moment; its contribution to how

After performing various experiments in order to test the computational performance of FingerScanner to validate its viability. First, the performance of the communication system was measured to obtain the response times. Then, the behavior of the different components of the system was analyzed in depth.
