This lengthy title summarizes in one string the hand tool set that has revolutionized SmallFootprintComputing

Two Thumbs

Having as a birthplace the games scenario where the users play their games primarily with the use of their two thumbs, this allows the user to grasp the Manipulation/Display device with two hands and use the two thumbs to make things happen. (Some of the latest devices have moved to a one hand grasp and manipulate, where the one thumb can do all the work with a small amount of hand shifting the device)

Pinch Expand

A technique which combines the movement of two digits,

• usually the forefinger and thumb
  • in a pinch (to reduce display size or Zoom Out)
  • and the opposite motion - expand/unpinch (to enlarge or Zoom In)

Flick

A process of up and down as well as side to side movement of the display by touching and then flicking with the index finger or other digit
