Integrated Development Environment Gesture for modeling workflow diagrams
This addresses the problem of inefficient user interaction for software developers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing visual language concepts.
The paper tackles the outdated interaction methods in software development tools by proposing a new gesture-based input system using motion detection technology, aiming to improve the developer's user experience.
The current software development tools show the same form of interaction as when they started back, in the mid 70's. However, since the appearance of visual languages and due to their own nature, they can be handled by tools which have different input methods to conventional ones. By incorporating new motion detection technology, it is intended that new forms of interaction are established. Interactions which respond to the free movement of hands, therefore the software's developer will have a substantial improvement in the user experience.
