Objects, Containers, Gestures, and Manipulations: Universal Foundational Metaphors of Natural User Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose Objects, Containers, Gestures, and Manipulations (OCGM, pronounced like Occam’s Razor) as universal foundational metaphors of Natural User Interfaces. We compare OCGM to existing paradigms using SRK behavior classification and early childhood cognitive development, and justify the “universal” and “foundational” descriptors based upon cognitive linguistics and universal grammar. If adopted, OCGM would significantly improve the conceptual understanding of NUIs by developers and designers and ultimately result in better NUI applications.

Natural User Interfaces : Why We Need Better Model - Worlds , Not Better
We introduce our view of the relation between symbolic gestures and manipulations in multi-touch Natural User Interfaces (NUI). We identify manipulations not gestures as the key to truly natural interfaces. Therefore we suggest that future NUI research should be more focused on designing visual workspaces and model-world interfaces that are especially appropriate for multi-touch manipulations.
متن کاملModels and Mechanisms for Tangible User Interfaces
Current human-computer interface design is dominated by the graphical user interface approach, where users interact with graphical abstractions of virtual interface devices through a few general-purpose input “peripherals.” The thesis develops models and mechanisms for “tangible user interfaces” – user interfaces which use physical objects, instruments, surfaces, and spaces as physical interfac...
متن کاملA Specification of 3d Manipulation in Virtual Environments
Virtual Reality techniques have promised intuitive and effective user interfaces to virtual worlds. The use of hand gestures is an important part of that interface. However, due to the absence of maturity of standard and tailorable software abstractions such as those seen in 2-D graphical user interfaces, current techniques for specifying the interactions of 3-D objects and gestures are ad hoc ...
متن کاملMental Timeline in Persian Speakers’ Co-speech Gestures based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory
One of the introduced conceptual metaphors is the metaphor of "time as space". Time as an abstract concept is conceptualized by a concrete concept like space. This conceptualization of time is also reflected in co-speech gestures. In this research, we try to find out what dimension and direction the mental timeline has in co-speech gestures and under the influence of which one of the metaphoric...
متن کاملA Corpus of Natural Multimodal Spatial Scene Descriptions
We present a corpus of multimodal spatial descriptions, as commonly occurring in route giving tasks. Participants provided natural spatial scene descriptions with speech and abstract deictic/iconic hand gestures. The scenes were composed of simple geometric objects. While the language denotes object shape and visual properties (e.g., colour), the abstract deictic gestures “placed” objects in ge...
