Studio Paint: Utilizing the Existing Skills of the Artist in a Paint Program

This video shows work done by the Research Group at Alias Research in 1994-95. It is a demonstration of a paint program, Studio Paint, that has been augmented by some new user interface techniques. These include semi-transparent dialogue boxes, two-handed input, "click-around" menus, and marking menus. The net result is that almost all of the screen is clear for art, as opposed to UI widgets, and that the artist "holds" the tool palette in their non-dominant hand, and are also able to "hold" and move the "paper" with the same hand, leaving the dominant hand free to draw and paint using the stylus.
