“…Based on this method, we developed (i) an implementation of Dwell-and-Spring for a window manager [9] (in C++); and (ii) a Java library 1 using SwingStates [3], that enables Dwelland-Spring in any Java Swing application with a single line of code. See the Applications section for more detail.…”

In graphical user interfaces, direct manipulation consists in incremental actions that should be reversible. Typical examples include manipulating geometrical shapes in a vector graphics editor, navigating a document using a scrollbar, or moving and resizing windows on the desktop. As in many such cases, there will not be any mechanism to undo them, requiring users to manually revert to the previous state using a similar sequence of direct manipulation actions. The associated motor and cognitive costs can be high. We argue that proper and consistent mechanisms to support undo in this context are lacking, and present Dwell-and-Spring, an interaction technique that uses the metaphor of springs to enable users to undo direct manipulations. A spring widget pops up whenever the user dwells during a press-drag-release interaction, giving her the opportunity to either cancel the current manipulation or undo the last one. The technique is generic and can easily be implemented on top of existing applications to complement the traditional undo command. Empirical evaluation shows that users quickly adopt it as soon as they discover it.

“…Thus, a behavior model is used to capture application-specific states and the state transition logic registered to designated polymorphic instances. This is done using Finite State Machines (FSM) for interfacing and monitoring without the need of using low-level eventlistener classes [19]. Moreover, FSMs make it possible for designers to define custom states and thereby associate alternative behaviors to different object instances as needed.…”

The paper describes an engineering method for building user interfaces for ubiquitous environments. The method comprises of several extensions in the UsiXML family of modes as well as design and runtime support so as to enable multi-platform, synchronous and collaborative interactions. We demonstrate key concepts of the method and their application by elaborating a scenario of collaborative co-play of the 'tic-tac-toe' game. The specific use case features synchronous co-engagement in game play by remote users (players or observers) using desktop PCs or Android devices.

“…Implementing DND −1 DND −1 is designed to be implemented at the system level, in an applicationindependent manner. We developed a Java prototype using SwingStates [Appert and Beaudouin-Lafon 2008] to demonstrate the approach, in which each client application implements the ReciprocalDnDProtocol interface and runs in a JInternalFrame. The ReciprocalDnDManager communicates with these applications exclusively through messages, while the interaction techniques to navigate in DND −1 (Dwell-and-Spring or DnD-List -described later in Experiment 2) are hosted on a full-screen GlassPane.…”

Drag-and-drop has become ubiquitous, both on desktop computers and touch-sensitive surfaces. It is used to move and edit the geometry of elements in graphics editors, to adjust parameters using controllers such as sliders, or to manage views (e.g., moving and resizing windows, panning maps). Reverting changes made via a drag-and-drop usually entails performing the reciprocal drag-and-drop action. This can be costly as users have to remember the previous position of the object and put it back precisely. We introduce the DND −1 model that handles all past locations of graphical objects. We redesign the Dwell-and-Spring widget to interact with this history, and explain how applications can implement DND −1 to enable users to perform reciprocal drag-and-drop to any past location for both individual objects and groups of objects. We report on two user studies, whose results show that users understand DND −1 , and that Dwell-and-Spring enables them to interact with this model effectively.
