Abstract

Rapid method for evaluation of pen-based text input techniques is necessary both for designers and consumers. We present a method that is based on an immediate performance comparison of the gesture making using the graphic templates of typefaces and the pen-based behavioral patterns. The results showed that besides the cognitive difficulty of symbolic gestures, metaphors and mnemonics, first and foremost the graphic feasibility determines handwriting performance of the gesture-based input techniques.
