  GENERALIZED INPUT ON THE CROSS-DEVICE WEB
  Published on 14 June 2012
  Mouse will soon cease to be the dominant input method for computing, though it will likely remain in some form for the forseeable future. Touch is the heir to the input throne, and the web needs to be ready. Unfortunately, the current state of input on the web is… you guessed it: a complete mess! There are two separate issues:

  No unified story between mouse, touch, and other spatial input.
  Poor support for complex gestures, especially needed for touch.
  I’ll look at each in a bit of detail, and then show you pointer.js.
