Abstract
A multi-touch input system may include: a touch surface; a display separate from the touch surface; and a processor. The processor may be configured to cause the display of an image on a display; detect a multiple-finger gesture on the touch surface; generate a signal indicative of the multiple-finger gesture; determine a speed of the multiple-finger gesture on the touch surface; and move the image proportional to the speed of the multiple-finger gesture. Moving may include moving the image with respect to a first axis when the multiple-finger gesture includes a first number of fingers, and moving the image with respect to a second axis when the multiple-finger gesture includes a second number of fingers different from the first number of fingers.
