The document proposes a mobile app called CurLink that allows users to practice cursive handwriting digitally. It notes that existing digital writing apps focus on individual letters rather than fluid sentences. CurLink would provide an interface similar to cursive writing books, allowing users to trace letters and sentences with ease. The app would have practice and test modes, providing feedback to help users improve. It is intended for both children learning cursive as well as adults who struggle with digital writing. The team believes the app could help introduce technology to children at a young age while making digital writing more accessible.
2. study
A research on some 6
month old babies showed
that how the babies were
excited when they saw an
interactive tablet in contrast to when they saw a
magazine. The magazine
felt boring to them but the
tablet seemed much more
involving and fun!
Yes! this works!
does not work :(
yet my finger does work
Useless!!!
AMAZING, it is m/
off to the one that works :D
3. existing scenario
The study (discussed) revealed the scope of interaction design in near future and
how people feel better when a device interacts with them.
The next era is going to be the era of interaction design, where digitalisation matters a lot.
The problem is that a person faces a lot of difficulty in writing and making illustrations digitally. The reason behind is that hes not comfortable in holding stylus and
digitalise the things which comes into his mind.
Some applications already exist in the market revolving around the idea of cursive
handwriting, but they are no fun and their interface includes writing of single letters.
