Interaction in conversational interfaces strongly relies on the sys-
tem's capability to interpret the user's references to objects via de-
ictic expressions. 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 Vir-
tual Reality.
