Gestures are special motions or events that are recognized by a 3D device.
The Leap Motion Controller recognizes the following gestures: Circles and swipes. Moving the hand in a circular fashion will trigger a circle gesture. Moving the hand at a fast enough speed will trigger a swipe.
(A circle gesture being performed.)
As the gesture is performed, a representation of the gesture is shown on the screen.
Once a gesture is performed long enough and all its requirements are met, the action card is activated and an animation is shown to show that it has been activated.
(In this case, a left swipe has triggered action card D)
