Abstract

User interfaces from dissimilar systems and applications are not usually analyzed or studied together or even in the same context unless the most generic possible method is meant to be applied and a model with high level of abstraction is sought for. In this study several interactive systems were analyzed and characterized at the user interface level in order to gain knowledge about the abstract model lying underneath and the type of modifications or innovations the yielded model would suggest. The possibility of porting and mixing the features of different user interfaces for exploring creative solutions was also considered. The study was conducted at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory in the University of Illinois at Chicago.
