Within the last twelve to eighteen months, I’ve crossed a threshold whereby the vast majority of my work is now aimed at touch-screen devices. I often have to sketch out feature specs, interaction designs and so forth, and I enjoy working on paper whenever I can. I quickly encountered a problem: touch-screen gestures are difficult to describe concisely. To solve this problem, I created a means of talking about such gestures symbolically; I call it Touch Notation.

There are three primary problems I face when talking about multi-touch gestures in documents: Elaborateness. Such situations are usually helped by creating a formal terminology or notation of some kind, and indeed we all find ourselves doing so automatically and organically in our own notes. That’s not all it’s useful for, though – I also use it to display gestural input in a concise, reference-suitable way. Design Priorities When developing the notation, my priorities were: Fingers vs Gestures Number Only. Number and Symbol. Tap. INSPIRE - A publication from the Adobe Experience Design team. LED Touch Sensing. Sparsh-ui - A Multitouch API for any multitouch hardware / software system. Project Goal Iowa State University's Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC) is developing a multitouch API for enabling users to create multi-touch applications easily on a variety of hardware platforms. The API supports custom hardware drivers and is platform independent. Project Components Gesture Server: The Sparsh-UI Gesture Server is the main piece of the application.

It handles gesture processing and passes touchpoints and/or gesture information to the client application. The Gesture Server supports basic gestures such as drag, scale, and rotate, and is extensible to support an infinite number of user-written custom gestures. Input Device Driver: A device driver is needed for a device to communicate with the Gesture Server. Gesture Adapter: A client adapter is needed for each GUI framework the Gesture Server intends to communicate with. Contact Information. NodeBeat. Www.billbuxton.com/multitouchOverview.html.

Preamble Since the announcements of the iPhone and Microsoft's Surface (both in 2007), an especially large number of people have asked me about multi-touch. Multi-touch technologies have a long history. Westerman, Wayne (1999). In making this statement about their awareness of past work, I am not criticizing Westerman, the iPhone, or Apple. Please do not be shy in terms of sending me photos, updates, etc.
