Reading #30: Tahuti

Comments:

Summary:
Tahuti is a dual-view sketch recognition environment. It shows users both their original strokes and the interpreted UML view of them. Users are able to sketch just as they would on paper and have the system create the UML structures that would correspond to their sketches. Tahuti uses a multi-layer framework to process, select, recognize, and identify strokes. The paper provides some nice information as to how each step is performed and what algorithms are used.

Through user studies, the authors discovered that Tahuti's interpreted view was deemed to be easier to drawn in and easier to edit in than comparative systems.

Discussion:
This paper was written in 2002. Since that time, a number of different systems have been designed that aide users in creating UMLs. I am not sure that a sketch-based approach to this task is relevant or efficient anymore, but at the time it seems like it was an excellent idea. Limiting user frustration is a must!
