چکیده
HORTON, THOMAS E. HabilisDraw: A Tool-based Direct Manipulation Software Environment. (Under the direction of Associate Professor Robert St. Amant). Direct manipulation interfaces already employ a weak analogy to the use of physical tools in the real world. Despite certain tradeoffs, a stronger application of tool-using principles can lead to improvements in the design of software interfaces. I outline here some of the theory behind such an approach, and describe the design of systems that follow these principles, with emphasis on a tool-based drawing application called HabilisDraw.

Demonstration: Two-handed interaction in a tool-based environment
HabilisDraw is a tool-based drawing environment that contains analogs of physical tools, such as pens, rulers, pushpins, and so forth. The environment is designed to exploit users’ intuitions about physical interactions between tools and objects. We are currently porting HabilisDraw to the DiamondTouch in order to explore issues in two-handed tool use.
متن کاملIntermedia: The ConceDt and the Construction of a Seamless Information Environment
ntermedia, a tool designed to support both teaching and research in a university environment, contains multiple applications and mechanisms to link the contents of documents created with those applications. The system was developed at Brown University’s Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship (IRIS). A hypermedia system expressly developed for use in a university setting, Intermed...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Web Personalization Assistants: Supporting End-Users in Web Information Systems
Currently, the two main techniques for achieving personalization on the Internet involve direct manipulation and software agents. While both direct manipulation and software agents are aimed at permitting end-users to finish tasks rapidly, efficiently , and easily, their methodologies differ. The central controversy involving these personalization techniques derives from the amount of control t...
متن کاملWeb Tool for Traffic Engineers: Direct Manipulation and Visualisation of Vehicular Traffic Statistics Using Google Maps
This thesis presents a lightweight web application prototype for traffic volume statistics analysis and manipulation. The tool was created using a participatory design approach, in conjunction with the traffic center of Oulu. The purpose of this work is to provide experienced traffic engineers an integrated environment and a convenient way to interact and visualize traffic volume data. The targ...
متن کاملObjects + Scripts = Applications 1
We argue that object-oriented programming is only half of the story. Flexible, configurable applications can be viewed as collections of reusable objects conforming to standard interfaces together with scripts that bind these objects together to perform certain tasks. Scripting encourages a component-oriented approach to application development in which frameworks of reusable components (object...
