Hi zachrose,
Very interesting conversation, waited years for having them. Its good to see smart guys around.
Gestures are old, Palm graffiti did a lot already but was a different approach, they worked alone, not for the service of other gestures like ours. We are bringing in new gestures and overcoming the imagery gesture paradigm. First the selection gestures that we are "inventing" product of the offset pointer and the two button areas. And second type the graffiti type, which are a set of three to six gestures that the user will learn if he wants.
The novelty of what we are doing (quite a lot in terms of interaction) is that our graffiti type (we call it our GestureKit, in fact is a brand) works in conjunction and coordination with the selection gestures. It is an ongoing process of doing three movements, drag-select-gesture which makes it very fast and productive. The user could skip the latter but once the selection gesture finger is lifted up and the content selected is very handy to do a last touch down and make a gesture to command, for example the "S" for search on Google. It could be whatever really.
Try it and tell me what you think please. These are not just command line gesture, they belong to an interactive system that all parts together make things much faster. The users know already to do that by other means, we are offering to do it faster.
Thanks lot.
