Abstract

Gesture-based applications are common nowadays, but developing gestures is still error-prone and causes software defects as well as misunderstandings and frustration among project team members and stakeholders. Precise specification and documentation is important for a project's success. We present GestureCards, a gesture notation intended for early development phases with non-technical stakeholder inclusion.
