....stroke but the more frequent ones are assigned with simpler strokes. If mastered, one can potentially write faster in the Unistrokes alphabet than in Roman alphabet. The fundamental limitation of Unistrokes, however, is the nature of writing one letter at a time. Quikwriting designed by Perlin [17] uses continuous stylus movement on a radial layout to enter letters. Each character is entered by moving the stylus from the center of the radial layout to one of the eight outer zones, sometimes crossing to another zone, and finally returning to the center zone. The stylus trajectory determines ....

....eyes free operation is impossible [16] Second, circular shaped menus have been known to be difficult to scan with the eye for many users [6] reducing the speed at which they can be correctly accessed. Two other noteable self disclosing systems that incorporate circular forms are Quikwriting [18] and Cirrin [17] These two systems are quite similar. Each maps the characters of the alphabet about the perimeter of a circular or rectangular form. Characters are drawn by sliding a stylus from the center of the form to a character. By sliding rather than flicking, users can write entire words ....

Additionally, the work with touchpad based remotecontrollers [8] and various unistroke alphabets [1, 6, 9, 11, 16, 18, 19] is highly relevant to the work at hand. Especially so, when related to the notion of sloppiness space in the design of unistroke character sets as discussed by Goldberg and Richardson [9] We will now discuss in more detail the two areas of research that led us to the present work.

Menu systems specifically aimed for text entry have also been proposed. T Cube by Venolia and Neiberg uses an initially visible 8 slice circular menu [18]. A touch on one of the sectors initiates behavior very similar to standard marking menus: The user may draw the gesture directly, or wait for a 8 slice sub menu to appear. In T Cube the submenu does not appear under the pen but elsewhere to avoid being obscured by the pen and the hand. Other ....

Rather than making character forms, the user moves the stylus through different regions, and segmentation between letters is accomplished by exiting one region and entering another. Examples are Quikwriting [21], Cirrin [16] and Edge Keyboards [26] The latter two have the same problem as soft keyboards (increased FOA) because they require constant visual attention. Though EdgeWrite in its current form is a unistroke technique, we are actively exploring ways to create a continuous gesture version. ....

....to be cumbersome. Instead, we needed to produce a di#erent scheme, one that could potentially o#er speed, and would not strain the arm or wrist even after repeated commands. For guidance we turned to successful methods for fast text entry in traditional systems. For example, the Quikwriting [7] method of stylus text entry abandons alphabet like letters in favor of a zone based text entry method. The letters are divided into zones. With the stylus, the user s first motion selects a zone, and the second selects a letter within the zone. Text entry on a cell phone is also a zoned input ....

....to make similar types of mistakes, although the particular zones involved may be di#erent. A third issue is the need to support the entry of letters, numbers and punctuation by an integrated system. The obvious choice is to have a number of character layouts, not unlike the Quikwriting system [7]. A button or shake could potentially toggle the user between the layouts. 5 Conclusion Tilt to write is ideally intended for tabs , small credit card sized computers with few buttons and small or no screen space for a stylus. Experiences with a tab sized mockup show that users can learn a ....

Alternatively, instead of using the traditional keyboard, we could use special keyboards similar to Cirrin [12] and Quickwriting [14] which can input multiple letters without explicit keyboard events. 8.4 Virtual Joystick As described in Sect. 7, we can determine the 3D orientation and position of the VISUAL PANEL at each time instant, and we can therefore use this type of information to control the display of a 3D object. ....

....determined by the sheet where the menu is initiated and by a physical path after menu choice (e.g. for moving a sheet) It also works well for built in parameter sets (e.g. a menu based set of zoom factors) and simple numeric parameters. However, entering long text strings using the QuikWriting [29] capabilities in FlowMenu proved cumbersome, and few people have been able to use it effectively. Therefore, we have augmented it with a technique we call Typed Drag and Drop, which combines handwritten character input with FlowMenu selection and object motion. Since we are dealing with an ....

....Interaction designs for small pen based devices have explored a number of ways to replace conventional keyboards and pointing devices. In addition to conventional GUIs, they have incorporated radial menus [18] marking menus [14] handwriting and gesture recognition [3] and character entry pads [8, 26, 17, 29]. Pen interaction for large displays has primarily been developed for whiteboard systems, and has focused on the use of gestures as part of stroke interpretation. Three aspects of command interaction need to be provided: command activation, item manipulation, and the entry of text and parameters. ....

....selection, text entry and direct manipulation. Separating the command selection and parameter entry mechanisms in a pen based display can be a major drawback for power users, who exhibit a pattern of rapid shifting between keyboard and mouse. The FlowMenu extends Perlin s Quikwriting technique [10] to a full hierarchical menu system to alleviate this shortcoming. FlowMenu provides menu selection, text entry, and parameter adjustment in an integrated mechanism, delivering a smooth and efficient interaction for experienced users while providing a learning path for novice users.

Many designs have been proposed for entering text with a pen device using a circular layout: T cube [13] Quikwriting [10] and Cirrin [9] We will only describe the last two of these here. Quikwriting [10] was developed as a way to improve text entry on small hand held devices such as the Palm Pilot. It can be seen as a specialized form of marking menu, in which the end of a selection gesture is not indicated by ....

This set includes methods like Goldberg and Richardson s Unistrokes [9] Graffiti [1] Perlin s Quikwriting [20], Venolia and Neiberg s T Qube [25] and traditional on line handwriting recognizers [23] The strength of these methods is that they utilize the very fine control that many people have over a stylus tip.

....equivalent for pen based text entry. However, with Goldberg and Richardson s unistrokes the learning path ends at the character level. The writer must lift the pen between characters. Our goal was to improve this situation and allow word level unistrokes as had been done at least twice before [18, 20]. Because we can separate the screen representation of the text and the input that is used to enter it, the input does not have to be human legible. This means that characters can be written on top of each other as noted by Goldberg and Richardson [9] We can use any manual movement or other ....
