A little while ago I spotted a post by Luke Wroblewski in which he has produced a Touch Gesture reference guide. The guide identifies ‘core gestures’ across the following platforms:
- iPhone
- Windows Phone 7
- Palm webOS
- Android
- OSX (trackpad and Magic Mouse)
- Windows 7
- Wacom Bamboo
- GestureWorks (Flash)
- Microsoft Surface
Being a multitouch fan (the Dell Studio 17 is a great machine) I contacted Luke and developed three Visio touch gesture shapes – Hand, TouchPoints and Arrow. You can now download the zipped Visio stencil and template set over at Luke’s reference guide post. The stencil and template work on Visio 2003, 2007 and 2010, and there’s a ReadMe text file that describes how to install the files correctly.
For this post I thought I’d write a quick review of how these shapes work…
