Richer graphical interaction using interactive pixel rewrite systems
George W. Furnas, Yan Qu, Sanjeev Kumar Shrivastava, Gregory L. Peters · 2001
Current computer systems are dominated by forms, behaviors and interactions most easily described in the textual languages of the underlying software. In this demo we enrich the space of interactive visual forms and behaviors by using an alternate underlying, non-sentential computational paradigm, Pixel Rewrite Systems. We show fundamental algorithms, interaction elements and application fragments that might be possible with this approach.
