Introduction to the Special Issue on UIDL for Next-Generation User Interfaces

摘要

In the last decade, new classes of devices for accessing information have emerged along with increased connectivity. In parallel to the proliferation of these devices, a broad range of new interaction styles that diverge from the "window, icon, menu, pointing device" (WIMP) paradigm have been explored. Among these are 3D user interfaces, tangible user interfaces, context-aware interfaces, and handheld interfaces.
