title = "Pen-Based Gestures: An Approach to Reducing Screen Clutter in Mobile Computing",
abstract = "Mobile computing is an area of high growth despite having some serious design issues. It is difficult to increase the size of the screen because of the device{\textquoteright}s physical constraints. Consequently, as mobile applications have incorporated more functionality, screen clutter has increased. One method of reducing clutter is to remove visual controls and use pen-based gestures instead. We describe a cinema listing application for a Palm OS device that implements pen-based gestures as the main input method. Two methods are used to communicate the options available on each screen: audio cues and small visual prompts. Preliminary results suggest that buttons can be removed from the screen without detriment to task accuracy or user performance.",
