#32I've downloaded the PDF for the paper linked on the page (http://faculty.washington.edu/wobbrock/pubs/uist-07.01.pdf) and some of the images are not showing. Is this a problem with OS X Preview.app or a general problem?

#33If you draw brackets from bottom up they are recorded inverted. For example, } drawn from bottom up is "recognized" as {.
That's because it's rotationally insensitive, which is a rather interesting property. I'm not sure how useful it is, but it certainly surprised me.

#34There's also a 1¢ recognizer, which supposedly improves this one in every way, yet has gone about fairly unnoticed, comparatively. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2331074

you need to expand on your point, because I don't get at all.
Re: $1 Unistroke Recognizer
#35I wrapped their latest recognizer the $P Point-Cloud Recognizer, as a node.js module here: https://github.com/francoislaberge/outlines Their implementation is quite clean, it really is a nice clean algorithm. It takes reading it to understand the type of shapes (templates) that work best and also as a user how best to draw them. I added a demo that shows you as you draw what it's internal state is and best guess so f…
I really love the feedback in the demo as to what the recognizer is guessing. If my Palm had that I believe I might have been even faster at writing graffiti. It allows you to quickly correct a "letterform" to get the desired glyph.

#37Article did not answer my first question, which is why this thing is called "$1". I clicked expecting to discover some sort of cheap hardware device.

to incorporate gestures into their UI prototypes, we present
a “$1 recognizer” that is easy, cheap, and usable almost
anywhere in about 100 lines of code
Re: $1 Unistroke Recognizer
#38is there a browser that still supports these gestures? Firefox did 10 years ago with an addon...
Re: $1 Unistroke Recognizer
#39The software assigns any sufficiently long user input to one of the 16 gestures.
In contrast, human-to-human communication consider much (most?) of the space of possible speech acts to be gibberish.
In other words, the software never gives up on trying to classify a user-input sequence no matter how wacky it is.
