  • Such encounters are becoming increasingly difficult. With a growing number of people turning to Kindles and other electronic readers, and with the Apple iPad arriving on Saturday, it is not always possible to see what others are reading or to project your own literary tastes.

  • A major drawback of current gesture interaction solutions is the lack of support for two necessary user interface design principles, feedback and visibility.
