True.

Also true, but neither means I would forgo my landscape mode, especially when I can hold down the camera icon on my iPhone for the same effect.

Nice idea, it's just that more elegant solutions exist :)

Yeah, the regular camera on the iPhone is perfect. This explores how to trigger it differently in apps though (like Instagram or whatsapp). I wanted to find out if it's easier to learn a gesture than to learn tap sequences. What to you think?

Gestures replacing taps/clicks (desktop metaphors) was one of the things I wanted to explore with this.
