Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new GUI design method based on ergonomics and describe our new menu widget named Slant Menu. Natural human hand movements on a table are reflected in this menu, which appears in an inclined direction with a curved form, rather than a conventional vertical, linear GUI menu. We have developed the prototype and conducted usability testing.
