Abstract
Direct Manipulation is an approach to designing user interfaces, which forms the basis of Graphical User Interfaces. Despite the importance of the concept, no mathematical model of Direct Manipulation has yet been developed. This paper proposes a model of Direct Manipulation, which relates cognitive distance with user familiarity and the novel concepts of “tech bias”, “velocity” and “inertia”.
