Video Sketch: Start Shazam’s Listening Feature via Gesture from Jones Merc on Vimeo.
What if one could define specific gestures to start specific features of an application.
This would be a diversification of the smartphones interface (see also: Standardised vs. Diversified Interaction), because one could skip all the buttons which one would normally need to navigation into the app and to a particular action or a feature.
In the video sketch I show how it could feel if the cupping-your-hand-gesture would initiate shazam’s song-listening feature. Especially in that use-case one is glad if as little time as possible is needed to start the listening function (otherwise the song may be over already).
