As users annotate printed documents and gather notes, they create a rich web of annotations and cross references. Unfortunately, as paper is a static media, this web often gets trapped in the physical world. While several digital solutions such as XLibris and Digital Desk have been proposed, they suffer from a small display size or onerous hardware requirements. To address these limitations, we propose PapierCraft, a gesture-based interface that allows users to manipulate digital documents directly using their printouts as proxies. Using a digital pen, users can annotate a printout or draw command gestures to indicate operations such as copying a document area, pasting an area previously copied, or creating a link. Upon pen synchronization, our infrastructure executes these commands and presents the result in a customized viewer. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of the PapierCraft command system, and report on early user feedback.}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/papiercraft-command-system-interactive-paper/}, pages = {241-244}, isbn = {1-59593-271-2}, edition = {UIST '05 Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology}, }
