|
This project, inspired by the work of MSR collaborator Ben Bederson (and powered by his Piccolo.NET toolkit) applies Zooming User Interface (ZUI) techniques to the domain of mobile phones and devices. This prototype interaction concept was published at CHI 2005, together with UMD's own design, called AppLens (in the spirit of DateLens). The paper's primary author was Amy Karlson, whom also single-handedly implemented both AppLens and LaunchTile prototypes in C#/Piccolo. Additional consulting & coding was contributed by Aaron Clamage, HCIL's professional developer, along with Professor Bederson himself. |

| Xnav Alternative Text Input Technology (non-handwriting, non-speech, non-typing) |
| _ |
|
The goal of this 5-year project was to create a unified, international text input system for a wide variety of non-keyboard devices. Prototypes include mobile phones, Pocket PCs, Tablet PCs, handheld remote controllers, and Xbox analog joysticks. Xnav builds on Virtual Serial Chording, a clever text input method invented by Dr. Ken Perlin, and licensed from Perlin's Media Research Lab at NYU. |
