Input Device Selection and Interaction Configuration with ICON
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes ICON, a novel editor designed to configure a set of input devices and connect them to actions into a graphical interactive application. ICON allows physically challenged users to connect alternative input devices and/or configure their interaction techniques according to their needs. It allows skilled users – graphic designers or musicians for example – to configure any ICON aware application to use their favorite input devices and interaction techniques (bimanual, voice enabled, etc.). ICON works with Java Swing and requires applications to describe their interaction styles in terms of ICON modules. By using ICON, users can adapt more deeply than before their applications and programmers can easily provide extensibility to their applications.

متن کاملMultimodal and Multichannel Issues in Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing
For the general public, the year 1984 marks the emergence of WIMP (Windows, Icon, Menu, Pointing device) interfaces. Developed at Xerox PARC in 1973 and popularized by the Macintosh, this type of graphical user interfaces is still largely used today, on most computers. However, in recent years, numerous scientific researches focus on post-WIMP interfaces. It is no longer limited to a single way...

In contrast to the pioneers of multimodal interaction e.g. Richard Bolt in the late seventies, today’s researchers can benefit of a wide variety of existing interaction techniques, devices and frameworks. Although these tools are available, the usage of them is still a great challenge particularly in terms of usability. A major issue results from the trade-off between the functionality of the s...
متن کاملDeveloping Concept-Based User Interface using Icons for Reporting Observations
In recent years, we have developed a visual communication interface for reporting observations in which messages can be constructed using a spatial arrangement of icons. Each icon on the interface represents a concept or idea. This paper reports about research on a visual language interface, which allows users to create structured messages of icon strings simultaneously in a two-dimensional par...
متن کامل3D interaction for puzzle solving with the cubtile, 3D multitouch device
This experimentation proposes a new interaction technique for 3D puzzle solving using a cubic device with five multitouch surfaces. The interaction is based on three levels. First, the device is used to move a 3D pointer (a selection box) into the virtual environment using. Such translations are performed relying on all the device faces. Once the selection icon is close to a piece of the puzzle...
