"hex-map": so you never have to leave the keyboard

Post by Rohit Agarwal »

Hex-map is a new paradigm for designing PC GUIs
that provides complete control of the GUI through the keyboard.
The mouse is not used in this GUI paradigm at all.
So, no more switching between the keyboard and the mouse.

Hex-map uses a mapping of the keyboard onto a hexagonal grid
to enable screen-space selection purely using the keyboard
(hence the name).

Hex-map is being prototyped using wxWidgets
It will consist of hex-mapped code editing and organisational tools
and utilities to assist the development of GUIs in this new context
along with all of its source code.

Hex-mapped GUIs are a lot more efficient that their WIMP counterparts
because of all the time saved in not having to switch between the keyboard and the mouse.
All GUI functions can be executed with just a few key-strokes.
We are designing the SDK to make the learning curve for this new GUI paradigm as short as possible.

Any website or is it too early for that?
Use the source, Luke!
