Abstract
A single pose is used in multiple postures to deliver at least a minimal core set of free space gestures for navigating within an interface, so as to be intuitive to users, easily remembered, straightforward for developers, and clearly defined for processing. A 'thumb-extended' pose with fingers together and clenched and thumb extended and raised is oriented in four cardinal directions so as to manifest four distinct postures: right, left, up, and down. Thumb-right and thumb left invoke scrolling forward and scrolling back, respectively, and thumb-up and thumb-down invoke yes and no respectively.
