just realised how recent the 'pinch-to-zoom' gesture is. was watching minority report (which is from 2002 i think), and their futuristic sci-fi interfaces don't use it. this is real weird to think about
did you mean: 'analog macros' or 'granola comas'? (i thought i'd be able to come up with a better anagram of you r comment, but these are the best i've got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
It is...and it isn't. I always thought it was this guy in the 90s Dean Rubine, but there are patents going before that.
But you can certainly argue the modern application is post-Minority Report!
