Abstract
A system and a method for performing a rolling gesture using a multi-dimensional pointing device. An initiation of a gesture by a user of the multi-dimensional pointing device is detected. A rolling gesture metric corresponding to performance of a rolling gesture comprising rotation of the multi-dimensional pointing device about a longitudinal axis of the multi-dimensional pointing device is determined. Information corresponding the rolling gesture metric is conveyed to a client computer system, wherein the client computer system is configured to manipulate an object in a user interface of the client computer system in accordance with the rolling gesture metric.
