Bend your index finger to touch your thumb. Something as trivial as that could mean "Don't treat this as an interaction".

Bend your index finger to touch your thumb. Something as trivial as that could mean "Don't treat this as an interaction".
- malandrew 14y agoEven better: initiate a gesture with a closed fist (no fingers detected), extend appropriate fingers for gesture, reform a fist to end the gesture.
- Macs75 14y agoIf is so precise I think gesture with less movements are the best. To have the same value of using a mouse for me the best could be to have a finger pointing/moving cursor and to have the middle finger touching the thumb and closing a circle during the gesture draw. When you open the "circle" ( slightly detach the middle finger from the thumb) the gesture is complete and could be interpreted. In the same way you could simulate single click, double clicks using always the thumb as a button, finally you could use the other fingers on the thumb to have a right click or more buttons. Maybe it's possible to simulate the wheel sliding the finger on the surface of the thumb. If you try those movements you will understand how is easy and natural to adopt and adapt to them. Imagine to drag and drop a windows on a desktop.. point the bar close the circle to "click" then drag the window and last open the circle to release. This way it's also easy to interface normal gesture build on drawing like the existing ones for mouses and mix also movement of the other hand to obtain more complex stuff like rotations,zoom and other complex manipulations if needed.
