Informal User Interface for Graphical Computing

This paper explores a concept of sketch-based informal user interface for graphic computing, which can be characterized by two properties: stroke-based input and perceptual processing of strokes. A sketch-based graphics input prototype system designed for creative brainstorming in conceptual design is introduced. Two core technologies for implementing such a system, adaptive sketch recognition and dynamic user modeling, are also outlined.
