This paper aims at illustrating the notion of reference context which seems to be essential for any general view of reference to a spatial environment wether this is done in a demonstrative (i.e. NL+gesture) or direct way. After a brief description of the task structure and the perceptive representation which may be needed for the interpretation of the corresponding expressions, we validate the computation of spatial and gestural expressions on several examples in the context of a specific application.
