A comment on Ask HN: Could this work as an alternative to pinch-to-zoom for touchscreens?.

What about a reverse zoom? (In other words, fingers together to zoom in, fingers apart to zoom out).

I like it.

What do you think about user defined movements for various actions?

Also, it does not need to be a screen touch. The phones have all sorts of sensors, maybe you could simply wink at it, tilt your head, tilt the phone...
