Abstract
Systems and methods that incorporate various techniques for teaching gestures to a user of a multi-touch sensitive device are disclosed herein. Such techniques can include presenting visible feedback of gestures, such as animated motion trails and/or hand motions, along with affirmative feedback for correctly performed gestures and negative feedback for incorrectly performed gestures. Such techniques can be expanded to provide training exercises that present tasks requiring a particular gesture or sequence of gestures to be performed. These training exercises can take the form of games or other engaging activities to encourage use.
