Recommendations

The relative effectiveness of a direct manipulation interface versus command-based interface in a database query task environment
Direct manipulation interfaces

Direct manipulation has been lauded as a good form of interface design, and some interfaces that have this property have been well received by users. In this article we seek a cognitive account of both the advantages and disadvantages of direct ...
Direct manipulation through surrogate objects
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Direct manipulation has had major influence on interface design since it was proposed by Shneiderman in 1982. Although directness generally benefits users, direct manipulation also has weaknesses. In some cases, such as when a user needs to manipulate ...
