Intelligent Interaction Techniques (IIxT) - Proposal
Interaction techniques (IxTs) are the low-level, reusable components out of which user interfaces are designed, including menus, scroll bars, text input fields, and also copy-paste, text-entry, and selecting objects. The IxTs for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were well established in the 1980s, with relatively minor additions and tweaks for smartphones in the 2000s. Most of today's AI user interfaces involve a chat window, which is an excellent interaction for some tasks, but is generally considered separate from the GUI IxTs. I argue for making the IxTs themselves more intelligent, so users can freely mix modalities, even within the same interaction. This will require research into ne...
