Pen-Based Gestures: An Approach to Reducing Screen Clutter in Mobile Computing

摘要: Mobile computing is an area of high growth despite having some serious design issues. It difficult to increase the size screen because device’s physical constraints. Consequently, as mobile applications have incorporated more functionality, clutter has increased. One method reducing remove visual controls and use pen-based gestures instead. We describe a cinema listing application for Palm OS device that implements main input method. Two methods are used communicate options available on each screen: audio cues small prompts. Preliminary results suggest buttons can be removed from without detriment task accuracy or user performance.
