WYSIWYG-Tool Tips: Enhancing Tool Tips with Translucent Preview Bitmaps
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper suggests to enhance the concept of tool tips by presenting translucent preview bitmaps. The basic idea is to give the user a preview of what would happen when a certain operation is invoked. We have implemented two prototypes to evaluate the concept. One provides WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) tool tips for documents and applications on the desktop. The second one is an application that provides previews of dialogs while browsing through the menu. Initial experience shows that this can provide a benefit for the user as she or he sees what is going to happen rather than only providing feedback on what has happened. This is in particular of interest to actions that can not be undone.

Instant Preview is a new package, for use with Emacs and xdvi, that allows the user to preview instantly the file being edited. At normal typing speed, and on a 225MHz machine, it refreshes the preview screen with every keystroke. Instant Preview uses a new program, dvichop, that allows TEX to process small files over 20 times quicker than usual. It avoids the overhead of starting TEX. This com...

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an interventional radiology technique that has shown a 90% success rate to decompress the portal circulation. As a non-surgical intervention, without requirement for anesthesia and very low procedure-related mortality, TIPS is applicable to severe cirrhotic patients, who are otherwise untreatable, for example, nonsurgical candidates. TIPS ...
متن کاملReferral of tactile sensation to the tips of L-shaped sticks.
When we touch something with a tool, we feel the touch at the tip of the tool rather than at the hand that holds the tool. We reported previously that judging the temporal order of two successive stimuli delivered to the tips of straight sticks held in each hand was dramatically altered by crossing the sticks without changing hand position. The results suggested that tactile signals are referre...

In large-scale virtual environments (VEs), there are often several different routes to a target destination. In this paper, we introduce a route preview tool to help users of VEs with the route selection process. Our experiments showed that the proposed route preview tool provides the necessary support to help users select a desirable route. CR Categories: H.5.2 [User Interfaces]; I.3.7 [ThreeD...
