Gesture Recognition Algorithm - Kinect?

If you're just trying to recognise the user swinging her hand towards you, your approach should work (despite being very susceptible to misfiring due to noisy data). What you're trying to do falls very nicely in the field of pattern recognition. For this, and very similar tasks, people very often use hidden Markov models with great success.

You might want to check the Wikipedia article. I'm not a C# person, but as far as I know, Microsoft has very nice statistical inference libraries for C#, and they will definitely include HMM implementations.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
