When users want to interact with an in-air gesture system, they
must first address it. This involves finding where to gesture
so that their actions can be sensed, and how to direct their
input towards that system so that they do not also affect others
or cause unwanted effects. This is an important problem [6]
which lacks a practical solution. We present an interaction
technique which uses multimodal feedback to help users address
in-air gesture systems. The feedback tells them how
(“do that”) and where (“there”) to gesture, using light, audio
and tactile displays. By doing that there, users can direct their
input to the system they wish to interact with, in a place where
their gestures can be sensed. We discuss the design of our
technique and three experiments investigating its use, finding
that users can “do that” well (93.2%–99.9%) while accurately
(51mm–80mm) and quickly (3.7s) finding “there”
