Re: Question: videos about gesture steering and GOK

Hi Michael,

Great to hear of your interest in the mighty GOK.

I'm not aware of the term gesture steering as it might apply to GOK. GOK 
is an on-screen keyboard suite.  The keys do not move around like the 
letters and words in Dasher. There are many ways GOK users can select 
keys on the GOK keyboard. I recommend this page for details 
(http://callcentre.education.ed.ac.uk/SEN/5-14/Special_Acc_FFA/On-screen_FFB/on-screen_ffb.html)

Unfortunately we don't have video of GOK users (it can be difficult to 
get permission to film GOK users here). If you find any such video 
please pass it along.

Also, if you run into any snags with GOK, please don't hesitate to email 
me and/or the list.

cheers,

David
