Misclassified articles edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Articles are regularly being misclassified into this category, especially articles about:

Design methodologies
HCI theories
Software architectures
Specific computer applications

In order to avoid the need for regular clean-ups I've created an article to clarify the concept of user interface technique as it is currently understood by a vast majority of researchers and practitioners in human-computer interaction.

More work to be done edit

As I see it, this category can be improved by:

Adding more interaction techniques. So far the list does not have many innovative interaction techniques (examples here), and 3D interaction techniques are absent.
Cleaning up. Some pages here should be probably moved to the Widget sub-category. Some pages in the categories user interface and Graphical user interface could be probably moved / copied here.
Adding subcategories. One such category could be "text input techniques". That would clean up the list a little bit. Other examples are "3d interaction techniques" and "visualization techniques". Also, we have here some high-level concepts such as metaphors and interaction styles (direct manipulation, attentive user interface, tangible computing). Maybe we should consider turning them into subcategories.
