Touchscreen Stencils
Amazon has started to deliver copies of my new book Designing Gestural Interfaces and the book will supposedly be on shelves tomorrow. In honor of that, I’m releasing some drawings my friend Rachel Glaves did for the book, suitable for using in documentation. Especially useful for those of us who can’t draw well, the drawings are of hands performing common touchscreen gestures like tap, slide, point, drag, pinch, and spread.

Thanks for these. I’ve converted these in to a Visio stencil so let me know if you’d like a copy.
Oh this is a great present to the IA world. Thanks! Adding to my graffle library now.

Sweet stuff, especially the view of using Photobooth. Have converted to InDesign CS3 Library, let me know if you’d like a copy.
