Abstract
Architecture that enables single and multi-modal interaction with computing devices, as well as interpreting user intensity (or liveliness) in the gesture or gestures. In a geospatial implementation, a multi-touch interaction can involve the detection and processing of tactile pressure (touch sensitive) to facilitate general navigation between two geographical points. This is further coupled with providing detailed information that facilitates navigation and turn-by-turn directions. This includes the use of time and/or pressure to release or increase the zoom level of map tiles, the touching of the two geographical points and speaking to obtain directions between these two geographical points, and the blending of tiles to create a compelling user experience, where the map is in different levels of zoom on the same view.
