Contribution

It introduces a novel gesture-based interaction method for modeling workflow diagrams in IDEs, leveraging motion detection technology.

Findings

Enhanced user experience through gesture interaction

Potential for more intuitive workflow diagram modeling

Foundation for future gesture-based development tools

Abstract

The current software development tools show the same form of interaction as when they started back, in the mid 70's. However, since the appearance of visual languages and due to their own nature, they can be handled by tools which have different input methods to conventional ones. By incorporating new motion detection technology, it is intended that new forms of interaction are established. Interactions which respond to the free movement of hands, therefore the software's developer will have a substantial improvement in the user experience.
