Tiquid: creating continuous transitions for multi-touch interactions

Designing the look and feel of multi-touch applications is a challenging task, especially in the early sketching phase when it is imperative to quickly generate as many ideas as possible. There are numerous techniques and tools to conceptualize the appearance of a user interface but few solutions for rapidly creating and evaluating interaction ideas. To solve this problem, we propose a concept which enables designers to quickly create simple transitions that are controlled using continuous gestures. As proof of concept we implemented Tiquid, a multi-touch tool designed for sketching interactions during the very early stages of interface development.
