Reading #23: InkSeine: In Situ Search for Active Note Taking (Hinckley)

Summary

This paper is about a Tablet PC application called InkSeine which supports active note taking by coupling a pen-and-ink interface with an in situ search facility that flows directly from a user’s ink notes.

Their user study showed users interest in having search results available in the context of surrounding notes and appreciate the ability to break searches down into multiple episodes so as to maintain attention on the primary note taking taks

Discussion

This paper is a good human centered design project. I also think abandoning mouse and keyboard in favor of pen based interface must be accelerated.
