This is a prototype of a touch input gesture that does not infringe any patents known to the author. For a proper introduction, refer to the README.
Move the cursor around in clockwise and counter-clockwise circles anywhere on this page and watch the output. It works best when controlled with an actual touchpad or touchscreen, because mouse control doesn't provide the same dexterity as a finger. This prototype assumes that circular scrolling mode is already engaged.
| rotational input | scrolling output | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| speed | radius | speed | latency | noise | best usage |
| slow | wide | very slow | high | very low | precise control |
| slow | tight | slow | very high | low | "gliding" |
| fast | wide | fast | low | high | quick response |
| fast | tight | very fast | high | moderate | speeding |
ProTip: kick-in with a wide arc, then tighten and glide almost effortlessly.
