Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for processing multi-touch inputs. It provides a method for continuous recognition of multi-touch gestures performed by one or more users on at least one multi-touch input device. The invention in one aspect allows users to start interacting with one multi-gesture and subsequently perform any other multi-touch gestures, if they want it, without needing to lift all their fingers off the multi-touch input device between each multi-touch gesture.
