ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pointing device gesture

Pointing device gestures are like magic tricks that you can do with your computer mouse, trackpad or touchscreen. Just like how you can wiggle your fingers to make a bunny, you can move your fingers on your computer device to make your computer do special things!

For example, if you want to make your computer screen bigger or smaller, you can do a pinching gesture. This means you put two fingers on the screen and move them closer together or further apart. When you do this, the computer will make things on the screen either bigger or smaller.

Another magical gesture is the Swiping gesture. This is when you move your finger across the screen in a certain direction, like swiping from left to right or right to left. This can make your computer do things like moving to a different page, or even to go back to a previous page you visited.

So, pointing device gestures are a special way you can use your computer devices to make it do magical tricks, just like wiggling your fingers to create different shapes!
