Detecting Swipe Sensitivity

Hi All,

Scenario:

- I have a Panoramic image.

- Users swipe left / right to reach both ends of the image

- I want the image to slide relative to the "intensity of the user's swipe/touch"

Question

Can I get any parameter from user's swipe? like swipeDistance or SwipeXposition before and after?

anything that helps me to know how far the user wants to slide the image.

Possible Execution:

If so, then I can use the parameter to calculate my own distance ratios like below (?)

$(window).bind("swipeleft", function(){

    distance =  calculateRange(SwipeIntensity)

    sym.$("image").animate({"left" : "-=distance"}, 1000, "easeInCubic")

});

Thanks in Advance
