Title:Intelligent Interaction Techniques (IIxT) - Proposal

View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Interaction techniques (IxTs) are the low-level, reusable components out of which user interfaces are designed, including menus, scroll bars, text input fields, and also copy-paste, text-entry, and selecting objects. The IxTs for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were well established in the 1980s, with relatively minor additions and tweaks for smartphones in the 2000s. Most of today's AI user interfaces involve a chat window, which is an excellent interaction for some tasks, but is generally considered separate from the GUI IxTs. I argue for making the IxTs themselves more intelligent, so users can freely mix modalities, even within the same interaction. This will require research into new IxTs, and also into the infrastructure that will enable these intelligent IxTs (IIxTs) to be built. There are also significant security, privacy and economic implications to this vision.
