MAGIC User Interface

quill User Interface

quill supports gesture creation by example, and offers automated advice on improving the gestures.

Lesson Learned:

  • some users did not realize that two similar gesture classes might conflict with each other
  • users didn’t understand how the gesture recognizer worked
  • and finding and fixing problems with recognition was very difficult

To help alleviate these issues:

  • quill includes feedback on the quality of gestures and used language to communicate issues

However, "many participants did not understand the suggestions," going on to posit that perhaps they "can be made more accessible. . . by using more diagrams."
