Abstract
The new generation of touch devices are often used for web browsing, but the majority of web interfaces are still not adapted for touch and multi-touch interaction. Using an example of an existing web site, we experiment with different adaptations for touch and multi-touch. The goal is to inform the design of a new class of web interfaces that could leverage gesture-based interaction to better support application-specific tasks. We also discuss how current responsive design techniques would need to be extended to cater for the proposed adaptations.
