Interaction Techniques

Dimp (Dragicevic P, Ramos G, Bibliowicz J, Nowrouzezahrai D, Balakrishnan R, Singh K) Accurate navigation in videos is difficult. Solution: control playback by directly dragging video content. www.aviz.fr/dimp	Fold n' Drop (Dragicevic P) Moving or copying objects between overlapping windows is a challenging task. Solution: Windows that can be leafed through. ~dragice/foldndrop/	SpiraClock  [video here] (Dragicevic P and Huot S) People have trouble managing their short-term future. Solution: A clock that displays their upcoming events in a non-intrusive way. www.emn.fr/x-info/spiraclock/
Mnemonic Rendering (Bezerianos A, Dragicevic P and Balakrishnan R) Computer users are often victims of change blindness. Solution: buffer all visual changes invisible to the user, and play them back later. www.dgp.toronto.edu/~anab/mnemonic/	earPod (Zhao S, Dragicevic P, Chignell M, Balakrishnan R, Baudisch P) Mobile devices often need to be operated eyes-free. Solution: auditory menus designed for speed. www.patrickbaudisch.com/projects/earpod/	Hotkey Trainer  [new page] (Grossman T, Dragicevic P, Balakrishnan R) It is difficult to memorize numerous keyboard shorcuts. Solution: redesign menus to accelerate and motivate learning. ~dragice/hotkey

Models & Tools

Input Configurator (Dragicevic P. and Fekete J-D) Interactive applications cannot be controlled with alternative input devices. Solution: A GUI toolkit and visual editor targeted towards input adaptability. inputconf.sourceforge.net/	Artistic Resizing (Dragicevic P, Chatty S, Thevenin D and Vinot J-L) GUI graphic designers should be able to express how their visuals will look like when resized. Solution: Allow vector graphics to be provided in different key sizes and use orthogonal interpolation. www.intuilab.com/artresize/	Multi-Transitions  [in French] (Schlienger C, Dragicevic P, Ollagnon C and Chatty S) GUI animations do not always provide enough details about what happened in the system. Solution: convey more information by varying visual transitions. www.intuilab.com/transdiff/
MaggLite (Huot S, Dragicevic P, Dumas C and Hégron G.) Building innovative user interfaces requires significant time and effort. Solution: A post-WIMP GUI toolkit with visual programming capabilities. www.emn.fr/x-info/magglite/
