Deictic gestures, especially pointing gestures, provide a powerful way of referring to objects and places, e.g., when communicating with an Embodied Conversational Agent in a Virtual Reality Environment. We highlight results drawn from a study on pointing and draw conclusions for the implementation of pointing-based conversational interactions in partly immersive Virtual Reality. %@ 978-1-4244-1971-5
