Abstract

Modern interaction systems are usually event-driven. New input devices often require new event types, and handling input from the user becomes increasingly more complex. Frequently, the WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) paradigm widely used today is not suitable for interactive applications, such a virtual reality applications, that use more than the standard mouse and keyboard input devices.In this paper, we present the design and implementation of the Dynamic Event Model for Interactive System (DEMIS). DEMIS is a middleware between the operating system and the application that supports various input device events while using generic event recognition to detect composite events.
