CAN PEOPLE USE GESTURE COMMANDS?

ABSTRACT

This paper reports initial results from a paper and pencil study of the use of hand-drawn gestures for simple editing tasks (see Wolf, 1986, for a more detailed report). Hand-drawn gestures are of particular interest in an interface which allows the user to write directly on the surface of a display with a stylus. In such an interface, the user can, for example, delete a word simply by crossing it out.
