In one of our projects we are designing and prototyping a mobile application for construction site management. A remaining question when specifying functionalities and implementing them on touch-based smartphones is how to define gestures use. Another issue is to ensure that on-screen interactions have the same meaning for the user in the various screens of the application.

User tests and ergonomics assessment of the whole application are probably the best methods. However our initial experience shows that it is important to consider this issue in the early stages of design, during brainstorming and specification sessions.
For that purpose, the Touch Gesture Reference Guide, together with the all new Touch Gesture Reference Cards are probably perfect companions for the application design team. They are designed and provided by Craig Villamor, Dan Willis, Luke Wroblewski and Kim Fulton.

Lets try it in our next sessions...
