Tablet PC Workshop Group “A” Researchers 7/20/2005
Progress Since Last Year • Good discussion between interaction researchers and recognition researchers • UIST • AAAI Workshop • ICMI • Eurographics Workshop
How About Next Year? • Vision of new style of computing • Speculate about Killer Apps that will drive it • Steps to achieve that • Not thinking about "PEN" computing • Move to MultiModal interfaces • Multi points of contact • Not thinking about "text"
Research Themes • Taking advantage of multiple modalities • Switching between pen & Keyboard • Fast Data Input • Recognition/Analysis of stuff other than text • Drawings and shapes • Math
Research Themes (cont’d) • Interfaces that adapt • To input context • To users' tasks/language • Designing interfaces with intelligence • Dealing with system mistakes as systems get more intelligent
Research Themes (cont’d) • New Metaphors (beyond extending pen & paper) • Give Interfaces "warmth" (Architecture) • Beautification of handwriting • Merging Ink & Existing Apps
Tablet Interface Research Obstacles • Tablet interfaces need work: Who’s the culprit? • No one? (research needs to trickle down) • Microsoft? • Researchers? • Collaboration between MSR & Academia • Too much work to build complete apps • Needed for ecologically valid assessments • Can't modify office
