Gestures

What does Gestures mean?

Gestures in the context of user interfaces refer to touch-based or motion-based interactions made by users on touchscreens, trackpads, or other input devices. Gestures enable users to interact with digital devices and applications by using various motions, swipes, taps, and multi-finger movements.

Common gestures include tapping to select, swiping to scroll or navigate, pinching to zoom, and rotating to manipulate objects. Gestures are integral to mobile devices, tablets, and touch-based interfaces, allowing users to intuitively interact with content and applications.

Designing for gestures is crucial in creating user-friendly and responsive interfaces, especially in mobile app development and touchscreen-based systems.
