> This demo is constrained to only using one stroke per letter, but systems that permit multiple strokes still get into trouble when the strokes don't match what they are expecting--for example if you draw an X using 4 individual strokes outward from a central point.
Arguably, an X drawn this way should NOT be recognized as an X--that's not how an X is spelled.
If the task is communicating with the computer, then recognition of the gesture is a valid approach. Just as there are conventions regarding the spelling of words, there are conventions involved in the formation of letters. Why not use them? It would even seem incorrect to leave these out.
