Draggable Menu Gestures

Following on from the progressive menu, demonstrating how drag and swipe gestures can be used to quickly jump through the menu structure.
Swiping/tapping the menu icon within a page will display its local menu on top, with it’s parent menus sitting below and behind. Then parent menus move in at a different speed, and slightly “un-focused” to show their hierarchy and relation to each other.
When a menu is tapped, it’s child menu moves aside slightly, hinting that the menu can be moved into focus.

Just a prototype, the gestures haven’t been user tested, but there some expected conflicts, such as iOS’s native swipe to navigate forward and back design pattern.
