Hi, I was wondering if there is any ongoing effort to standardise higher level events for gestures? The only related documents I could find are [0] from 2009 and a proprietary Microsoft implementation [1]. In case there is none Iıd like to start one. Currently I am writing (yet another) JS library [2] to support some gestures like tap, dbltap, hold, pinch, flick, swipe. Other libraries like Hammer [3] canıt handle multiple pointers simultaneously or lack of accuracy when detecting gesture [4] (e.g. Hold is not aborted on move). Imho a specification should cover a Gesture interfaces and its properties + constraints like the maximum movement (in inch) for a pointer to be recognised as a tap or the ³hold" time. Eventually this should lead to that browsers handle gestures rather than a JS library. Any interest on that?
