The curve (although optional) is meant to follow the natural path that the thumb takes when gripping a device. The action bar can be -- like most menus -- both modal and quasimodal. | The curve (although optional) is meant to follow the natural path that the thumb takes when gripping a device. The action bar can be -- like most menus -- both modal and quasimodal. The strengths of the curved path are taht: (1) the arc-length is longer, yielding more space for buttons and white space between buttons (which is especially good for finger-based touch screens), (2) it is distinctive and whimsical. We can optionally extend the hit-target of the buttons down to the edge of the screen. | ||
Quasimodal: Place your finger on one of the touch-bar activation corners and slide your finger to the desired action, and release. (As the finger travels, force feedback should be provided for each button passed). This provides a very fast way of accessing functionality and is quickly habit forming. | Quasimodal: Place your finger on one of the touch-bar activation corners and slide your finger to the desired action, and release.
