In this paper, we performed an exploration on the design and evaluation of pen tail gesture, an interaction method that allows the use of pen tail movement to initiate interactions. Based on our interviews with some designers and researchers who regularly used pen-based tools, we conducted three experiments to establish baseline criteria to distinguish intentional pen tail gestures from inciden...

genus to an abstract essence one would vary several coloured objects and discover that colour belongs to all of them as a highly abstract moment. In 80 other words, one would discover that colour is not an independent, real object; it presupposes extension in order to exist. For Husserl, Lockean dependencies between general concepts and their variants merely serve as a vast playground, or netwo...

Pen-based computing offers mobility to workers at remote locations who spend much of their time collecting information. Because pen-based computing is different enough from other types of computing, many companies use pilot projects to get the systems into the hands of these users to see what reaction pen systems receive. Using actual pilot projects in user organizations as examples, this artic...

Records on final BW (kg), backfat depth (cm), and LM area (cm(2)) of pigs from a University of Nebraska Large White/Landrace composite population were analyzed to estimate the effects of pen mates. Measurements were at approximately 180 d of age for 3,524 pigs in 351 pens (9 to 11 pigs per pen) farrowed from 1999 to 2005. The area of each pen was 8.13 m(2). The full model (M1) included the fixe...

Drawing a mark can be an efficient command input technique when using a pen-based computer. However, marks are not intrinsically self-explanatory as are other interactive techniques such as buttons and menus. We present design principles for interaction mechanisms which make marks self explanatory for novices but still allow experts to use efficient command marks. The key notion is that use of ...

For effective digitizing of the group KJ-method (GKJ) activity, we had proposed a label capture system that utilizes an Anoto-based digital pen. The Former GKJ system can digitize the position and content of not only labels but also normal handwritten text. However, advanced edit operations such as changing the text color and emphasizing labels using a digital pen cannot be performed. In this p...
