Ambiguous intentions
Mark D. Gross, Ellen Yi-Luen Do · 1996
Interfaces for conceptualand creative design should recognize and interpret drawings.They should also capture users' intended ambiguity, vagueness, and imprecision and convey these qualities visually and through interactive behavior.Freehand drawing can provide this information and it is a natural input mode for design.We describe a pen-based interface that acquires information about ambiguity and precision from freehand input, represents it internally, and echoes it to users visually and through constraint based edit behavior.
