Micro-Gesture Interactions
Swipes, pinches and long-presses replace multi-step actions with single gestures; speed rises, deliberation drops, and consequential actions can be made as light as a flick.
An everyday example
Swipe-to-buy or swipe-to-match interfaces where a millisecond gesture commits you.
What it can cost you
Commitment at the speed of a reflex.
Warning signs
- I committed with a flick.
- I am not sure I meant to.
One thing to do
Disable one-gesture commits for anything with a cost; require a second, different action.
