Abstract
The lack of affordance in gesture interfaces make interaction non-intuitive and time has to be invested in learning the various gestures. This can be difficult for first-time users. The Visual Gestures on Maps (VGMaps) mobile application was developed to test if the inclusion of visual cues improves the efficiency and intuitiveness of touch-based gestures. User testing showed that visual cues made no difference with regards to the basic touch gestures, such as swiping and flicking, but an improvement was noted with more advanced gestures (multi-touch zoom).
