DENIM is a system that helps web site designers in the early stages of design. DENIM supports sketching input and gestures for operations like pan, cut, copy, and paste; allows design at different refinement levels—site map, storyboard, and individual page; and unifies the levels through zooming. DENIM uses very little sketch recognition, and when recognition is used, the sketched ink is almost always unchanged. We chose this informal interaction so that designers could concentrate on designing web sites without being ...

People often use a variety of computing devices, such as PCs, PDAs, and cell phones, to access the same information. The user interface to this information needs to be different for each device, due to the different input and output constraints of each device. Currently designers designing such multi-device user interfaces either have to design a UI separately for each

Web site designers have expressed concerns that formal, cleaned-up representations of early ideas cause end-users to focus on inappropriate details. It is believed that the high-fidelity of formal representations cause end-users to believe a design is more complete and therefore not amenable to high-level changes and suggestions. In this paper we present an experiment comparing end-user perceptions of formal and informal electronic representations of web site designs. We found that end-users do in fact believe ...

The limitations of graphical user interfaces have slowed the spread of computer usage to the entire population. Perceptual user interfaces are one approach that can overcome many of these limitations. Adding perceptual capabilities, such as speech, sketching, and vision, is the key to making interfaces more effective. We argue that informal user interfaces, which do little or no up-front recognition of the perceptual input, have important applications and should not be forgotten by perceptual user interface ...
