abstract |
Direct Combination (DC) is a recently introduced user interaction principle. The principle
(previously applied to desktop computing) can greatly reduce the degree of search,
time, and attention required to operate user interfaces. We argue that Direct Combination
applies particularly aptly to mobile computing devices, given appropriate interaction
techniques, examples of which are presented here. The reduction in search afforded
to users can be applied to address several issues in mobile and ubiquitous user interaction
including: limited feedback bandwidth; minimal attention situations; and the need
for ad-hoc spontaneous interoperation and dynamic reconfiguration of multiple devices.
When Direct Combination is extended and adapted to fit the demands of mobile and ubiquitous
HCI, we refer to it as Ambient Combination (AC) . Direct Combination allows the user
to exploit objects in the environment to narrow down the range of interactions that
need be considered (by system and user). When the DC technique of pairwise or n-fold
combination is applicable, it can greatly lessen the demands on users for memorisation
and interface navigation. Direct Combination also appears to offers a new way of applying
context-aware information. In this paper, we present Direct Combination as applied
ambiently through a series of interaction scenarios, using an implemented prototype
system. |
