Title:UIMarks: Quick Graphical Interaction with Specific Targets
Authors: Olivier Chapuis, Nicolas Roussel.
Venue: UIST’10, October 3–6, 2010, New York, New York, USA.
Summary: UIMarks is a system designed for Mac OS X and the X Window system which allows developers to design user interfaces using a markup language to easily define targets for mouse pointing. Unlike other experimental pointing systems, this one is designed to be used
ontop of current systems, instead of replacing them all together. The project focused on efficiency, and ignored criteria such as ease of learning, etc.
Discussion: This article was fairly interesting, but a little hard to follow. It was highly technical, and didn't do a good job of convening what the system
actually was doing. Overall, it sounds like a fairly interesting interface system.
I was also kinda confused as to what this actually did. Seems like a keyboard shortcut except for the mouse cursor. Seems unnecessary and impractical for most situations, kind of like most of what we read.
