The world's music, art traditions have shown us the rich forms of expression that result from the expression of the hands, the value
f hand skills and hand literacy. Yet our modern digital tools have been designed to eliminate hand skills, the engagement with the content through the hands. Of the hundreds of
hand gesture positions that are possible, interactions with digital documents become reduced to point and click and button pushing. Couldn't we employ gestures to provide kinaesthetic forms of interaction with digital content? In addition, can we not explore
the relation between the forms of hand held interface in response to the dimensions and spaces created by the hand and body? Could we not study and incorporate the dimensions of texture and touch in the design of hand held interfaces?
