Practical questions such as how can a human and computer system tell when a movement is volitional, or when a set of movements can be considered a single gesture, become philosophical questions when investigated rigorously across different applications and situations.

These in turn provide insights into how (and why) certain design approaches work better than others for creating rich rather than complicated responsive environments.
