ZOIL: A Design Paradigm and Software Framework for Post-WIMP Distributed User Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces ZOIL (Zoomable Object-Oriented Information Landscape), a design paradigm and software framework for post-WIMP distributed, zoomable and object-oriented user interfaces. We present ZOIL’s design principles, functionality and software patterns to share them with other researchers. Furthermore, ZOIL’s implementation as a software framework for C# and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is available as open source under the BSD License (see http://zoil.codeplex.com). Author

Design and Implementation of Post-WIMP Interactive Spaces with the ZOIL Paradigm
Post-WIMP (post-“Windows, Icons, Menu, Pointer”) interactive spaces are physical environments or rooms for collaborative work that are augmented with ubiquitous computing technology. Their purpose is to enable a computer-supported collaboration of multiple co-located users that is based on a seamless use of and “natural” interaction with multiple devices and displays. This thesis answers the re...

متن کاملLessons Learned from the Design and Implementation of Distributed Post-WIMP User Interfaces
Abstract Creating novel user interfaces that are “natural” and distributed is challenging for designers and developers. “Natural” interaction techniques are barely standardized and in combination with distributed UIs additional technical diffi culties arise. In this paper we present the lessons we have learned in developing several natural and distributed user interfaces and propose design patt...
متن کاملA Framework for an Infinitely Zoomable Information Landscape
Since the advent of the very first graphical environments, the desktop metaphor claimed its place as a design that has shaped computing to this very day, yet hasn’t undergone any significant evolution apart from keeping itself visually upto-date. Popularity is not always a measure for quality, though, especially when taking the lack of alternatives into consideration. With the introduction of z...
متن کاملUnderstanding and Designing Surface Computing with ZOIL and Squidy
In this paper we provide a threefold contribution to the Surface Computing (SC) community. Firstly, we will discuss frameworks such as “Reality-based Interaction” which provide a deeper theoretical understanding of SC. Secondly, we will introduce our ZOIL user interface paradigm for SC on mobile, tabletop or wall-sized devices. Thirdly, we will describe our two software tools “Squidy” and “ZOIL...
