IdentityMine announced a new product, IdentityMine Gesture Engine. Details are a bit light thus far.Gesture Engine allows you to define more complex "multi-level cooperative" gestures. I'm not exactly sure what that means except perhaps that you can add gestures like drawing a question mark (?) or rubbing or other complex gestures. I have a call in to IdentityMine to get a clarification.
Assuming the above is correct this would be a nice tool to have on hand. I've built complex gestures but its a pain on Surface and each one requires custom code. I would much rather have a framework that supports complex gestures. Another cool thing about the Gesture Engine is that it can record gestures and use them as heuristics for identifying new gestures. That's really powerful, but I'm not sure how well it works - perhaps I'll get a chance to try it out when the software actually becomes available.

Hi, this is andrew whiddett of identitymine, just got back from mix09... Anyway - yes you can record your own gestures, but thats actually not our meaning for the term coorperative. Our definition of coorperative is if you have for instance a listbox with a bunch of buttons (an open file dialog for example), Pan through the list of items will effectively cancel the click on the button. This is very advantangous when you are developing deeply structured applications. Plus there is a lot more. I am going to post an full breakdown of the features next week....
