Interacting with Jacquard is a unique experience that allows you to perform a variety of abilities using gestures on your Jacquard item. Abilities let you do things like play music, get your next turn, ask a question, answer calls, and more.
Note: We recommend using four fingers when performing gestures. To avoid unintentional activation, the Jacquard item will not respond to gestures performed with a single finger.
Gestures
Brush in/up
Jacket: Brush inward on the cuff of your left sleeve.
Backpack: Brush upward on the left strap.
Brush out/down
Jacket: Brush outward on the cuff of your left sleeve.
Backpack: Brush downward on the left strap.
Double tap
Tap the threads on your Jacquard item twice.
Cover
Use your hand to cover the threads for about one second. This gesture silences incoming Jacquard alerts and stops all ongoing abilities. Cover is the only gesture that can't be customized.

Assign abilities to gestures
