Unity Gesture UI Guidelines 0.2 now available http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfkkjjcj_1482g457bcc7

 

Hi All,

I have just published version 0.2 of the Unity Gesture UI Guidelines; it is available at http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfkkjjcj_1482g457bcc7 .

There are a lot of changes so it is worth having a quick read through, but the most potentially confusing modifications are to do with terminology. The interaction levels are now named Objective, Application, Screen and Unity. The term 'Chain Gestures' has also been replaced with 'Compound Gestures' which hopefully better signifies that the component gestures can be ordered both sequentially and in parallel. I understand that it is a pain to change terminology after we have started using it in our day to day work, but if we are going to make terminology changes the best time to do it is now while we are still early in the development process. From this point onwards we will try to avoid making further changes to already defined terminology.

cheers,
John
