Coarse iPad gestures

Another excerpt from our upcoming interaction guidelines article, Designing for Touch (inspired by @bigmediumjosh's book).

As device screens get larger, it gets harder to move your hands and fingers around the screen. That’s why larger screens favor coarse gestures like full-screen swipes, as opposed to fine-tuned button taps. And while any gesture is great, consistent gestures are even better—that’s why we want to let the user’s muscle memory, not visual guidelines, do the job.

DO: Favor coarse gestures and make interaction zones as big as possible.
