• CIS 524 WEEK 8 ASSIGNMENT 3
•  
• Assignment 3 Direct Manipulation
•  
• Early computer systems relied on command line
  interfaces to perform all actions. Today, the
  majority of systems use direct manipulation
  rather than a command line interface. The goal of
  designing a direct manipulation interface is to
  make use of the system intuitive to the end user.
  One industry that has been extremely successful
  designing intuitive direct manipulation inputs is
  the video game industry. Most game players are
  able to learn controls as they play a game and
  then apply the same controls to similar games.
  Rarely do they need to read a user manual.
