I don't have to look at either my nor your feet to walk though.
However, I do have to look at the hand sign you threw out in RPS, interpret that into the associated word, make sure I didn't mix up my vs your hand signals, interpret the logic, determine if it was a win/lose/draw, and keep count?
Put it this way, short of the middle finger, peace symbol, or thumbs up, I'm absolutely worthless for anything even resembling sign language.
I mention walking as a base level, but I can extend it beyond that.
As a weird example, I'm going to mention swing dancing. It is supposed to be random acts of dancing by those who are dancing with each other. Doing so requires the following:
And a lot of dancing and other movement based communication is at a level where you don't have to think about the individual movements even if the movements aren't planned out. You seem to have to consciously think about these movements while others around you don't have to.
Nah, I just don't want others around me when I dance. It's a wonder I ever had a cameraman a few times..

I use it as an example. There are certain actions that people can put to their autonomous reaction. Some of those actions include being able to communicate with others and being able to act in sync with others.
You may be able to perform complex physical actions by yourself, but you have issues processing outside human stimulus at a fast enough speed to play rock paper scissors at the same place that others do.
I'm saving your comment, as you have succinctly explained it better than I ever could. 👍
