VoodooSketch: extending interactive surfaces with adaptable interface palettes

摘要

Voodoosketch is a system that extends interactive surfaceswith physical interface palettes on which users candynamically deploy controls as shortcut to applicationfunctionality. The system provides physical ‘plug and play’controls as well as support for sketching of controls, andallows controls to be associated with application functionsvia handwritten labels. The system uses a special digitalpen, which writes ‘real’ ink on the palettes whilefunctioning as a digital input device on the interactivesurfaces. The palettes can be seamlessly integrated intoexisting applications, be appropriated by the user to suitdifferent input requirements, and support new interactionstyles across multiple surfaces, palettes and users.
