单显示多输入的交互方式具有节约设备成本和提高合作效率的优点,如何实现多个输入设备独立地控制是其中的关键问题。针对此问题,提出了多笔交互技术,从设备层开始分离各笔设备的输入,为各笔构建单独的处理部分,实现多用户共享单显示设备的功能,并以笔式输入模式使得交互更加自然与高效。将多笔交互技术应用在儿童讲故事原型系统中,儿童可以共同进行故事创作。结果表明,多笔交互技术能使多个儿童同时操作,共享讲故事软件,带给儿童新的协作体验。
Single display with multiple input devices has the benefits of lower devices cost and higher collaboration efficiency, and the strategy to control each input device separately is the most challenging problem. A multiple pen technology is proposed, which separates the inputs ofpen devices and deals with each pen individually to provide the function of single display with multiple users. The interaction is more natural and effective by using pen input pattern. And the application of multiple pen technology, a storytelling system for children' s education is also presented, in which several users can collaborate with others to create stories. According to the application, the multiple pen technology can make children operate simultaneously and share storytelling, which gives them a new collaborative experience.
