1. PetriNect: A Generic Framework for Executable Gestural Interaction Models

Author

Abstract

Integrating new input devices and their associated interaction techniques into interactive applications has always been challenging and time-consuming, due to the learning curve and technical complexity involved. Modeling devices, interactions and applications helps reducing the accidental complexity. Visual modeling languages can hide an important part of the technical aspects involved in the development process, thus allowing a faster and less error-prone development process. However, even with the help of modeling a gap remains to be bridged in order to go from models to the actual implementation of the interactive application. In this paper we use ICO, a visual formalism based on high-level Petri nets, to develop a generic layered framework for specifying executable models of interaction using gestural input devices. By way of the CASE tool PETSHOP we demonstrate the framework's feasibility to handle the Kinect and gesture-based interaction techniques. We validate the approach through two case studies that illustrate how to use executable, reusable and ex-tensible ICO models to develop gesture-based gaming applications.

Abstract

One of the essential means of supporting Human-MachineInteraction is a (software) language, exploited to input commands andreceive corresponding outputs in a well-dened manner. In the past,language creation and customization used to be accessible to softwaredevelopers only. But today, as software applications gain more ubiquity,these features tend to be more accessible to application users themselves.However, current language development techniques are still based on tra-ditional concepts of human-machine interaction, i.e. manipulating textand/or diagrams by means of more or less sophisticated keypads (e.g.mouse and keyboard).In this paper we propose to enhance the typical approach for dealing withlanguage intensive applications by widening available human-machine in-teractions to multiple modalities, including sounds, gestures, and theircombination. In particular, we adopt a Multi-Paradigm Modelling ap-proach in which the forms of interaction can be specied by means ofappropriate modelling techniques. The aim is to provide a more advancedhuman-machine interaction support for language intensive applications., RALF3 - Software for Embedded High Performance Architectures
