The input system I'm thinking about (and trying to learn the gestures for without an actual input device) would support a maximum of ~49 different inputs. | The input system I'm thinking about (and trying to learn the gestures for without an actual input device) would support a maximum of ~49 different inputs. | ||
7 gestures for the right hand (thumb + fingers 1, 2, 3, 4, 1&2, 2&3, or 3&4) * 4 for the left (thumbs + fingers 1, 2, 3, or 4) = 28 inputs (English alphabet + space and period). | 7 gestures for the right hand (thumb + fingers 1, 2, 3, 4, 1&2, 2&3, or 3&4) * 4 for the left (thumbs + fingers 1, 2, 3, or 4) = 28 inputs (English alphabet + space and period). | ||
Including (adjacent) two finger gestures on the left hand would give a total of 49 combinations. You could also do three and four finger gestures, or use non-adjacent fingers, but these are harder to do and take more time. | Including (adjacent) two finger gestures on the left hand would give a total of 49 combinations.

I have a little Python script which translates strings into lists of finger positions (it isn't in alphabetical order as I thought it made sense to put the most frequently used letters on the easiest gestures). | I have a little Python script which translates strings into lists of finger positions (it isn't in alphabetical order as I thought it made sense to put the most frequently used letters on the easiest gestures). | ||
