Lessons Learned from the Design and Implementation of Distributed Post-WIMP User Interfaces

چکیده
Abstract Creating novel user interfaces that are “natural” and distributed is challenging for designers and developers. “Natural” interaction techniques are barely standardized and in combination with distributed UIs additional technical diffi culties arise. In this paper we present the lessons we have learned in developing several natural and distributed user interfaces and propose design patterns to support development of such applications.

متن کاملZOIL: A Design Paradigm and Software Framework for Post-WIMP Distributed User Interfaces
This paper introduces ZOIL (Zoomable Object-Oriented Information Landscape), a design paradigm and software framework for post-WIMP distributed, zoomable and object-oriented user interfaces. We present ZOIL’s design principles, functionality and software patterns to share them with other researchers. Furthermore, ZOIL’s implementation as a software framework for C# and WPF (Windows Presentation...
متن کاملDesign of Distributed User Interfaces
Current visual display ecosystems raises new situations and new configurations regarding the way a user interacts with a system through the user interface. In a post-WIMP period, we can find coupled displays, multi-touch devices, and interactive table-tops, tablets, tangible user interfaces, eWatchs and many other devices often interconnected through the same applications. This scenario poses r...
متن کاملSmart City Reference Model: Interconnectivity for On-Demand User to Service Authentication
The Internet of Things and Services (IoTS) has encouraged the development of service provisioning systems in respect to Smart City topics. Most of them are operated as heterogeneous systems which limits end customers’ access and contradicts with IoTS principles. In this paper, we discuss and develop a reference model of an interconnected service marketplace ecosystem. The prototypical implement...
متن کاملMINT-Composer – A Toolchain for the Model-based Specification of Post-WIMP Interactors
With the introduction of new modes to control user interfaces like speech, gesture and multi-touch Post-WIMP interfaces increasingly substitute classical WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointer) user interfaces. In this paper, we describe a toolchain of three connected tools to design and monitor custom Post-WIMP interactors using modelbased user interface design (MBUID) methods. We use state char...
