The pRemote ('p' stands for personal) is an alternative input device based on digital pen technology, paperbased interface layouts and text recognition. Compared to standard remote controls, the concept allows the creation of personal interfaces by the user, the use of different templates while running an application and an alternative for text input by writing with a pen. In our work, we developed a design study of the pRemote which was evaluated by eight users. The concept was appreciated by almost all of the participants. We exemplified the concept for controlling an already developed media application. The pRemote should establish a basis for further evaluations of different input designs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
