OCGM_(computing)

This article is about the human computer interface In human–computer interaction, OCGM stands for Objects, Containers, Gestures and Manipulations, denoting a style of interaction using these elements. It was coined by Ron George in 2009.[1]

This style of interaction uses a physical input device to control the position of a cursor and presents information organized in windows and represented with icons. Available commands are compiled together in menus and actioned through the pointing device. This is intended to reduce the cognitive load to remember the possibilities available, reducing learning times.

Other intended benefits of this style include its ease of use for non-technical people, both novice and power users. Also know-how can be ported from one application to the next, given the high consistency between interfaces.
