A JavaScript library for detecting gestures made by the user whilst holding their mobile device.

The software converts the continual stream of motion readings into distinct gesture events.
All you need to do is attach event-handlers to the gestures. Your functions get called when the user makes the gesture with the device.

The library comes with some pre-recorded gestures.
You can also record your own custom gestures using the recorder application.

NOTE: This library recognises gestures made by moving the hand-held device in your hand. It does not recognise gestures from video or images.
