Touch Gestures to Interact with Media

The Touch Application lets you interact with media directly using touch gestures. There are two main types of gestures.

Two-finger gestures are used to move and adjust the media itself.

One-finger gestures are used to interact with the content inside the media.

Understanding the difference between these two gesture types makes the system easy and natural to use.

Two-Finger Gestures

Use two fingers when you want to move, resize, rotate, or access controls for a media item.

Move media

•Place two fingers on the media

•Drag to move it anywhere on the workspace

Resize media

•Place two fingers on the media

•Pinch inward to make it smaller

•Spread outward to make it larger

Rotate media (table version only)

•Place two fingers on the media

•Twist clockwise or anticlockwise to rotate it

This is useful when people are standing or sitting around a table.

Open media controls

•Tap the media once with two fingers

•The media control panel will appear

This gives access to options such as playback, display settings, or other media tools.

Use one finger to interact with the content inside a media item. These gestures do not move or resize the media.

Swipe pages (PDFs and documents)

•Swipe left or right with one finger to change pages

Tap buttons and links

•Tap once with one finger to select buttons, links, or on-screen controls

Scroll or adjust content (if supported)

•Some media allows scrolling or sliders using one finger

•This only affects the content inside the media, not its position on the workspace

•Two fingers are used to move, resize, rotate, or open controls

•One finger is used to read, swipe pages, press buttons, or follow links

Using the correct gesture type helps keep the workspace organised and makes interaction fast and intuitive for all users.
