Applying Mixed-Initiative Interaction in User Interfaces for Communicators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Communicators are small handheld devices that combine the features of PDAs and palmtop computers with those of telephones. They are widely believed to be the next big wave of devices to gain market popularity with projected market penetration exceeding that of conventional desktop computers by more than an order of magnitude. Communicators pose special challenges to the design of user interfaces. We describe a natural approach developed for a prototype Communicator that in many places incorporates useful intuitions of mixed initiative interaction.

Personal assistants: Direct manipulation vs. mixed initiative interfaces
Interface agents are computer programmes that provide assistance to users dealing with computer-based applications. The introduction of agents to user interfaces caused the exploration of new metaphors to enhance user ability to directly manipulate interfaces. In this regard, mixed-initiative interaction refers to a flexible interaction strategy in which agents contribute with users by providin...
متن کاملMixed-Initiative Creative Interfaces for Dynamic Illustration and Generative Design
Modern software applications for design and drawing provide users with rich sets of features, many of which provide computational assistance or otherwise amplify the user’s ability to express themselves creatively. In this paper, we present several research projects that we have undertaken in this area, with a focus on how they enable a collaboration between the user and a computational system,...
متن کاملComparing the usability of a user driven and a mixed initiative multimodal dialogue system for train timetable information
The aim of the study presented in this paper was to compare the usability of a user driven and a mixed initiative user interface of a multimodal system for train timetable information. The evaluation shows that the effectiveness of the two interfaces does not differ significantly. However, as a result of the absence of spoken prompts and the obligatory use of buttons to provide values, the effi...
متن کاملA model-based approach for mixed-initiative context-aware adaptation of graphical user interface
Context-aware adaptation is the key to the success of a user interaction and a support for usability. This fact is recognized and empiricially assessed by the HCI community. A significant amount of research has been conducted to design and develop context-aware adaptation in interactive applications in order to streamline the user interface development lifecycle. It has to be noted that adaptat...
متن کاملManaging Design Knowledge with Mixed-Initiative Dialogue
This paper is based on ongoing work in developing interactive interfaces to formal methods for encoding design knowledge. It reports on the development of a shared graphical notation to support user interaction with design knowledge based on mixed-initiative. Mixed-initiative provides a model of interaction where both the designer and the knowledge formalism may share responsibility over decisi...
