Yo Bro what's up! How you doing? A handshake is a form of non-verbal communication. The handshake is thought by some to have originated as a gesture of peace by demonstrating that the hand holds no weapon. Two screens running on a sliding rail system approach and distance themselves from each other. At the moment of overlapping the hands engage in a delicate dance of intertwining moves.
