Informal Information Gathering Techniques for Active Reading

Опубликовано 2 ноября 2016, 15:29

GatherReader is a prototype e-reader with both pen and
multi-touch input that illustrates several interesting design
trade-offs to fluidly interleave content consumption
behaviors (reading and flipping through pages) with
information gathering and informal organization activities
geared to active reading tasks. These choices include (1)
relaxed precision for casual specification of scope; (2)
multiple object collection via a visual clipboard; (3) flexible
workflow via deferred action; and (4) complementary use
of pen+touch. Our design affords active reading by limiting
the transaction costs for secondary subtasks, while keeping
users in the flow of the primary task of reading itself.
