本文介绍了小波菜单的设计和评估，以及它在iPhone上的实现。小波菜单由使用简单手势的同心分层标记菜单组成。新手模式，即当显示菜单时，很好地适应于手持设备的有限屏幕空间，因为菜单层次的表示是颠倒的，较深的子菜单总是显示在屏幕的中心。视觉设计基于堆叠隐喻，以加强对层次结构的感知，并帮助用户快速理解该技术是如何工作的。该菜单还支持子菜单预览，这是在命令层次结构中高效导航的关键属性。量化评估表明，小波菜单为支持基于手势的高效导航提供了一种直观的方式。专家模式，即不等待菜单弹出的手势，是小波菜单的另一个关键属性：通过提供笔划快捷方式，小波支持在专家模式下选择频繁的命令，并使免眼选择成为可能。一项用户实验表明，参与者能够在走路时不用眼睛就能选择命令。
This paper presents the design and evaluation of the Wavelet menu and its implementation on the iPhone. The Wavelet menu consists of a concentric hierarchical Marking menu using simple gestures. The novice mode, i.e. when the menu is displayed, is well adapted to the limited screen space of handheld devices because the representation of the menu hierarchy is inverted, the deeper submenu being always displayed at the center of the screen. The visual design is based on a stacking metaphor to reinforce the perception of the hierarchy and to help users to quickly understand how the technique works. The menu also supports submenu previsualization, a key property to navigate efficiently in a hierarchy of commands. The quantitative evaluation shows that the Wavelet menu provides an intuitive way for supporting efficient gesture-based navigation. The expert mode, i.e. gesture without waiting for the menu to pop-up, is another key property of the Wavelet menu: By providing stroke shortcuts, the Wavelet favors the selection of frequent commands in expert mode and makes eyes-free selection possible. A user experiment shows that participants are able to select commands, eyes-free, while walking.
