Abstract

Example embodiments provide for (i) suggesting proper gesture sequences based on a user's initial gesture input; and/or (ii) providing visual or other gesture example(s), which may alternatively be compared with the user's mimic thereof. For example, a user may input a gesture into a touch/display surface. Based on the user's movement, recognized or proper application gesture commands are suggested. In other embodiments, a tutorial session may be presented to the user for teaching or educating the user on numerous types of gestures. As such, a visual representation of a gesture example may be presented to the user, and feedback provided based on the user's mimicking thereof.
