Wow. the equation for computing of the hand scaling velocity is a gem. It computes, when translated, how much the distance between the fingers changed per the time interval... or... yes, hand scaling velocity!

I hesitate to call this an "advanced technology". It's a kind of calculation we'd have done during what amounts to college years in the US.

I stopped reading there.



Yes, he seems to think Apple's got some magic system in there, not realizing that it's just a basic calculation that anyone else solving that problem would have come up with.

I bet if you put 10 decent programmers in a room, more than half come up with the same thing. That's true of SO many software patents.
