  • Multi-touch Document Folding: Gesture Models, Fold Directions and Symmetries
    Date: 01/01/2011
    Resource Category!: Conference Proceedings
    For document visualization, folding techniques provide a focus-plus-context approach with fairly high legibility on flat sections. To enable richer interaction, we explore the design space of multi-touch document folding. We discuss several design considerations for simple modeless gesturing and compatibility with standard Drag and Pinch gestures ... »
