7.  Gesturecons – Icons For Multi-Touch Interfaces

Our way of thinking as web/application/software designers is about to be turned upside down. No longer will we design around a mouse/cursor, but will have to think about fingers and gestures when we design the next generation of interface. Gesturecons are here to aid you in that process.

Vector based icons created to aid in the design, development, implementation and promotion of multi-touch interfaces. These icons will aid in the creation of wire-frame documents, digital help files and printed documentation. You can also use Gesturecons inside of your applications in order to demonstrate to users how to complete actions or prompt them to interact with an application when they approach it.

High resolution multi-touch vector icons, scalable and alterable (.pdf, .ai, .eps file types.)

Available For Android, Web OS, iOS, OSX Trackpad, Windows Phone 7, Windows 7, Microsoft Surface, Microsoft Kinect
