This book is best for the beginner as its content is very basic and superficial. There is no deep thinking or insights here. Unfortunately, the occassional good topic is glos. Good for beginning concepts There is not one line of code in this book. This text is about how gestures in the air and on surfaces can replace or augment the commands given by mice, keypads, and stylii.

Designing Gestural Interfaces provides you with essential information about kinesiology, sensors, ergonomics, physical computing, touchscreen technology, and new interface patterns -- all you need to know to augment your existing skills in "traditional" web design, software, or product development. Designing Gestural Interfaces will help you enter this new world of possibilities.. Nintendo's Wii and Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch have made gestural interfaces popular, but until now there's been no complete source of information about the technology. Packed with informative illustrations and photos, this book helps you:Get an overview of technologies surrounding touchscreens and interactive environmentsLearn the process of designing gestural interfaces, from documentation to prototyping to communicating to the audience what the product doesExamine current patterns and trends in touchscreen and gestural designLearn about the techniques used by practicing designers and developers todaySee how other designers have solved interface challenges in the pastLook at future trends in this rapidly evol
