Title: Whither the Pen-Based Interface?
Authors: Briggs, Robert O.1, Dennis, Alan R.2, Beck, Brenda S.3, Nunamaker Jr., Jay F.4,5
Source: Journal of Management Information Systems. Winter92/93, Vol. 9 Issue 3, p71-90. 20p. 2 Diagrams, 7 Charts.
Subjects: Pen-based computers, Programmable peripheral interfaces, User interfaces, Information technology research, Attitudes toward technology, Innovation adoption
Abstract: This paper reports the results of six experiments to investigate the kinds of applications for which a pen-based interface might be useful, the kinds of users who might adopt pen-based interfaces, and the features or components of the pen-based interface that users find acceptable. The experiments revealed a strong user acceptance of pen-based systems for software navigation and position control across a range of applications, and showed that the responses of current nonusers were very similar to those of experienced users when using pen-based systems. The results also suggest that, contrary to conventional wisdom, handwriting recognition is unlikely to be widely accepted as a direct keyboard substitute for general-purpose computing. The paper discusses alternatives to handwriting recognition for pen-based character input, and ends with a brief discussion of future directions in pen-based interface research.
