Cicero: A Concept for Gesture Hinting on Mobile Devices

(http://www.francescobusolini.it/Cicero/index.html)

The aim of the master thesis was to explore how gesture hinting can be designed to increase the usability of an application without disturbing those who choose not to use it. It was user tested in comparison with a previously suggested concept, called Alchemy, which it clearly outranked. Cicero allows users to ask help to the OS in every situation where the user doesn't know how to interact with an item on the screen.
