Touch Gesture And Control

According to designer Gabriele Meldaikyte there are five basic multi-touch gestures that form a language we use between our fingers and iPhone screens. We use gestures like tap, scroll, flick, swipe and pinch, to communicate and navigate. These moves are considered to be ‘signatures’ of the Apple iPhone and in the next decade or so these gestures will completely change. To preserve their authenticity, the Multi-Touch Gestures project was born.

As Gabriele explains, “I have translated this interface language of communication into 3D objects which mimic every multi-touch gesture. My project is an interactive experience, where visitors can play, learn and be part of the exhibition.”
