Multi-touch gestures in webapp on desktop

Question

I'm developing online map(like google maps) of cool fantasy world. I'm also use OS X on my main computer. Since OS X(especially Lion) are focused on different multi-touch gestures because almost of all mac users have a multi-touch input device(magic mouse or trackpad) I want to add support of pinch gesture to my online map(two-finger scroll would be cool to add too). Is it possible to do it? It's not bad if it will work only in some specific browser or web engine.

scripty2.com/demos/touch - it's open source, works on handheld devices (tested on my Android), but doesn't seem to work on desktops (they talk about some fallback techniques, but I have no way to check it). – Freehand

Unfortunately (if I'm right) it uses touch API which available only on mobile device with touchscreen. – Berliner

Answer 1

According to this question, it looks like firefox offers some support for multitouch gestures (see here), but other major browsers do not.

Answer 2

recently I've been developing webapplication for iPad using my PC and Chrome, it used a pinch feature. I found a way how to emulate touch and multi-touch feature on a desktop browser, posted my results on github here https://github.com/dgolovanev/mxTouch still does not supports predefined gestures but can handle touch and multi-touch events, hope it will be helpful
