Abstract

For a long time, the main technique for executing a command has been point and click. However, due to the increasing need to execute commands quickly, shortcuts are becoming more and more popular, as is the case with point and click. Many studies have improved the shortcut system by developing 2D shortcuts. Unfortunately, keyboard shortcuts and 2D shortcuts involve a one-to-one gesture-command mapping. This leads to many memorability problems which are mainly because it is necessary to assign a new gesture to each new command and also, after a certain number of shortcuts, some gestures become more and more abstract. To address this issue, we decided to explore the concept of combining 2D gestures when interacting in smart environments. To achieve this, we have created an application allowing to realize shortcuts using macro-commands or a combination of 2D gestures which are congruent and hierarchic. This application will aim to visualize interactions with connected objects in a smart environment named EMERITI. To better understand the EMERITI environment, we will detail its grammatical structure, its functioning, and its advantages.
