The limits of expert performance using hierarchic marking menus
CHI '93: Proceedings of the INTERACT '93 and CHI '93 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

A marking menu allows a user to perform a menu selection by either popping-up a radial (or pie) menu, or by making a straight mark in the direction of the desired menu item without popping-up the menu. A hierarchic marking menu uses hierarchic radial ...
Simple vs. compound mark hierarchical marking menus
UIST '04: Proceedings of the 17th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology

We present a variant of hierarchical marking menus where items are selected using a series of inflection-free simple marks, rather than the single "zig-zag" compound mark used in the traditional design. Theoretical analysis indicates that this simple ...
Control menus: excecution and control in a single interactor
CHI EA '00: CHI '00 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We propose a new type of contextual pop-up menu called a control menu. These menus combine the selection of an operation and the control of this operation. They integrate up to two scroll bars or spin-boxes and thus allow users to keep their attention ...
