Use of the User Action Notation at the Naval Research Laboratory Human- Computer Interaction Laboratory

Abstract

This report describes introduction of researchers in the Information Technology Division of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to the User Action Notation (UAN), a notation developed at Virginia Tech for representing the design of the interaction component of interactive systems. This report also presents use of the UAN in describing a variety of unique, innovative interaction techniques to evaluate the notation for its ability to represent such techniques, and exploration of possibilities for future research and technology transition with the UAN collaboratively between NRL and Virginia Tech. Human-computer interaction, User action notation, User interface design, Methodology.
