The touch controllers offer a method of player input that hasn't existed before. I'm compiling a list of actions that can be used to cause an effect. Some of the most fun experiences I've had so far are a result of this. The first contact demo and the game "The Unspoken" use these new input methods to great effect. Here is the list I've put together so far, please reply with any additional control methods you can think of that I have missed:
Grab (subcategories: grabbing item from waist, chest, back, bow and arrow motion, pump shotgun, reload magazine)
Place (like moving a chess piece)
Aim/Shoot (like with a gun)
Throw
Cross Arms
Spread hands (subcategories: horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
Bring hands together (subcategories: horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
Both hands same direction (subcategories: both up, down, left, right, forward/push, backward/pull)
Smash (like with a hammer)
Bounce (like a basketball, similar to smashing but with timing)
Point
Poke
Flip a Switch
Trace a pattern
Circling (moving your hands in small or large circles in front of you)
Twisting (like turning a door knob)
Swipe
Pinch
Thumbs up
Punch
Rip/Tear
Shake (like a salt shaker)
