物理界面相对于图形窗口小部件的一个优势是，它们使控件更接近于手。VoodooSketch是一个支持桌面界面动态定制的系统，用户可以在调色板上安排物理控件。该系统采用笔和纸的技术，以实现两个新的功能：第一，用户能够素描控件，立即操作笔交互;第二，用户可以标记的控件与手写的名称，确定其功能和绑定的控制到应用程序。本文介绍了VoodooSketch界面定制技术的实证评估结果。该研究的主要发现是：用户能够轻松地创建草图控件;他们可以像传统输入设备一样有效地使用它们;手写标签比传统的基于屏幕的方法更有效地进行控件映射;草图控件提高了用户的性能并降低了错误率。
An advantage of physical interfaces over graphical widgets is that they bring controls closer to hand. VoodooSketch is a system that supports dynamic customisation of tabletop interfaces with physical controls that users can arrange on palettes. The system employs pen and paper techniques to achieve two novel capabilities: first, users are able to sketch controls that are immediately operational for pen interaction; second, users can label the controls with a handwritten name that identifies their function and binds the control to an application. This paper presents the results of an empirical evaluation of the VoodooSketch interface customisation techniques. The main findings of the study are: that users are able to easily create sketched controls; that they can use them as effectively as traditional input devices; that handwritten labelling is more efficient for control mapping than conventional screen-based methods; and that the sketched controls improve user performance and reduce error rates.
