Dasher is a zooming interface. You point where you want to go, and the display
zooms in wherever you point. The world into which you are zooming is painted
with letters, so that any point you zoom in on corresponds to a piece of text.
The more you zoom in, the longer the piece of text you have written. You choose
what you write by choosing where to zoom.
Dasher is an information-efficient text-entry interface, driven by natural
continuous pointing gestures. Dasher is a competitive text-entry system
wherever a full-size keyboard cannot be used - for example,
* when operating a computer one-handed, by joystick, touchscreen,
trackball, or mouse;
* when operating a computer with zero hands (i.e., by head-mouse or by
eyetracker);
* on a palmtop computer;
* on a wearable computer.
The eyetracking version of Dasher allows an experienced user to write
text as fast as normal handwriting - 29 words per minute; using a mouse,
experienced users can write at 39 words per minute.
Dasher can be used to write efficiently in any language
