At a glance

What
A technique that takes mid-air pinch gestures as input before the hand reaches a vertical mouse.
Why
A vertical mouse is held with the wrist upright, so nothing can be entered until the hand is already on it.
How
It recognises the pinch trajectory in eight directions: left, right, upper left, lower left, upper right, lower right, up and down.
New
The seconds before the hand touches the mouse become usable input time.
