I remeber reading a web page about token usability design awards. I'm trying to find the page but one awards was for a kids camera which had plastic bumps on it. The caption was something like "It looks like it wants to be held." These bumps are common on most cameras you can find today, I.E. where you right hand curls around the side.
Tries to test some gestures with mum yesterday but she kept pressing the buttons saying I would point in and press up. Not to helpful but....
I took the Wiimote and turned it around so she couldn't press the button. BAM the depression from where the B-button is melded into her palm.
Two side effects from this. She stopped pressing the buttons and also she grips the remote when performing most gestures. The grip presses the b button automatically. What a sweet and simple way to understand some gestures are being performed.
The Alternative grip
The Depression into the hand.Sry bout the darkness (I still can't find flash)
People are also puting this ideas into remotes being designed now. Just wish I could find the camera example
