1. A computer-implemented method for controlling an application running on a computing device, the method comprising:
receiving a current gesture performed by a user while the user interacts with the application;
comparing the current gesture with a plurality of predefined control gestures wherein at least one application function is associated with a respective control gesture;
if the current gesture matches at least an initial partial gesture of a particular control gesture associated with the at least one function, generating confirmation feedback for the user wherein the confirmation feedback encodes, in a format perceptible by the user, at least a first information identifying the at least one application function (F1) associated with the particular control gesture and a second information about a time interval remaining before the associated application function will be executed; and
if completion of the particular control gesture is detected during said time interval, and
if a neutral position of the user is detected during said time interval, preventing the execution of the associated function;
else if completion of the particular control gesture is detected during said time interval, and no neutral position is detected during said time interval, triggering the execution of the associated function.
