I redesigned the sounds for the interface. So far swiping, entering and leaving the interaction box and the volume click sound have changed. Two new sounds joined the family; docking on and off from the volume adjustment gesture.
All sounds have now common sounds-fragments included, to make it clear, that all those sounds belong to the sound interface.

Affording Gestures
Can we design affordances for gestures without a tangible object to interact with? Can interfaces be built with more or less clear indications how a gesture should be done? This question is strongly linked to the question how one can teach a user a (new) gesture-language.
An article about affording horizontal swipe gestures on touch screens is found here. From personal experience I can say that (either because it’s true affordance or because user learned how to interact with such interfaces) the depicted interfaces indeed show some swiping affordances. Can this also be achieved for mid-air micro-gestures?
