Rekha Sugandhi, Abin A. Alichan, Ankit Dave, Yogesh Bhumkar . Air Swipe: A Modified Swipe Gesture System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 26, 7 ( July 2011), 9-12. DOI=10.5120/3118-4288
Abstract
Traditional systems with pointing devices, lack swipe gestural interaction. Nowadays, there are a lot of new pointing devices which provides the facility for swipe gestures. But they lack user friendliness. In these systems, the user has to interact with the system in a way which is different from traditional methods. A very good example is Apple’s Mac Book touchpad, in which the user has to use three fingers to perform a swipe; for doing mouse operations only one finger is required. This paper focuses on the implementation of the air swipe feature for the above mentioned systems, which does not require any external adaptation on the user’s part. The paper discusses how the swipe gestures could be performed without interfering with the normal pointing-device operations, along with a brief description of the approach used to implement this feature.
