title: Definition of Touch Gestures
body: <p>Are there any non-platform specific definitions of touch gestures, that are typically used for devices like Android or iPhone.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to write a specification for a multi-platform product that uses touch gestures. However, people have different opinions (depending on the platform they come from) what each gesture means.</p>
  
  <p>So I was wondering if there is any "standard" definition on touch gestures. On Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch_gestures" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> is the best I could find. But I'm sure people who are working on academic UI research must have some standard definitions.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I just remembered that we have an UX site on StackExchange, so I <a href="https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/7955/definition-on-touch-gestures">asked the question there as well</a>. Maybe someone can merge those. Not sure what the policy is on cross-posts.</p>
