  • Publication number: 20140120518
    Abstract: A method for providing multi-touch input training on a display surface is disclosed. A touch/hover input is detected at one or more regions of the display surface. A visualization of the touch/hover input is displayed at a location of the display surface offset from the touch/hover input. One or more annotations are displayed at a location of the display surface offset from the touch/hover input and proximate to the visualization, where each annotation shows a different legal continuation of the touch/hover input.
