Error Correction Techniques for Handwriting, Speech, and other ambiguous or error prone systems
Abstract: Interfaces which support natural inputs such as handwriting and speech are becoming more prevalent and this is a desirable trend. However, these recognitionbased interface techniques are error prone. Despite research efforts to improve recognition rates, a certain amount of error will never be removed. Suitable research efforts should attend to the problem of correction techniques for these error prone techniques. Humans have developed countless ways to correct errors in understanding or...
Using a Handheld to Help People with Neuro-Muscular Disorders
Abstract: People with Muscular Dystrophy and certain other muscular and nervous system disorders lose their gross motor control while retaining fine motor control. The result is that they often lose the ability to move their wrists and arms and so their ability to operate a mouse and keyboard deteriorates over time. However, they can often still use their fingers to control a pencil or stylus, and thus can use a handheld computer such as a Palm. We have developed software that allows the handheld to
Abstract: We believe that navigation in information spaces is best supported by tapping into our natural spatial and geographic ways of thinking. To this end, we are developing a new computer interface model called Pad. The ongoing Pad project uses a spatial metaphor for computer interface design. It provides an intuitive base for the support of such applications as electronic marketplaces, information services, and on-line collaboration. Pad is an infinite two-dimensional information plane that is...
