The MacBook Air Rotate Gesture Feature

Video Transcript

"BRANDON KARON: When Apple introduced the iPhone, they introduced multi-touch technology and then they incorporated--they just incorporated that technology into the MacBook Air onto that oversized trackpad. Now, one of they key gestures is the rotating gesture which will allow you to take two fingers, your thumb and your index finger, and it's natural. You just rotate to the left or to the right. Now let me show you, I'll open up a picture here. I will open up in Apple's program called "Preview." Now I can take my thumb and my index finger and I can rotate to the right and rotate back to the left. I can go all the way around, 360 degrees. Now this gesture works equally as well in iPhoto. Let me go ahead and open up iPhoto. Now, if we wanted to edit a photo, you wanted to rotate a photo, normally you have to click on the button to rotate it and you have to specify which way you want to rotate it. I'll take another picture of my car here, double click on it to enter the editing mode. Now I can use two fingers, just go left or right, just like in preview. That's the multi-touch rotating gesture."
