Gesture recognition is used all over the world including in regions such as Japan. Gesture recognition is an interesting subject in language science and computer engineering to automatically interpret human gestures through mathematical algorithms. It's a subfield of digital language engineering. It can also come from any non-body-parts gesture or physical movement, but more often, gestures originate from either the hand or face.
The idea behind gesture recognition is very simple: on a computer screen a user will see a series of icons (or, pictures) and while looking at one of these users can simply touch a button to indicate which shape or color combination the desired icon is. If they then choose to double-click on one of the shapes displayed, it identifies the shape/color combination with an electronic "thumbprint" that can then be used by the system to interpret the signal. Of course, this is just one of the many possible permutations of gestures that can be recognized.
Assuming that the user has chosen a square shape to represent a heart, users can perform a simple gesture recognition operation such as selecting the heart shape using the finger or thumb, pointing to the heart icon, and pressing the appropriate pinch command to bring up a menu of options. In gesture recognition, users will then have the option of either clicking on one of the heart-shaped icons or if they choose to resize the heart shape the system will automatically repeat the operation until the user is happy with the result. In regions such as Japan, the prevalence of IT companies has increased the usage of gesture recognition. For instance, according to Japan Information Industry Association, in 2018 there were around 22 thousand business enterprises in the Japanese software service industry.
The system can also automatically detect and recognize human speech, recognize basic signs used in the world for instance indicating whether the patient is suffering from a stroke or not. It can also recognize basic gestures (such as raising a toast), facial expressions, and other non-verbal communication. Such systems are not limited to recognizing human speech alone though; they are also capable of recognizing numbers, shapes, and numbers in lists or directories and can even perform calculations based on certain information presented to them.
