Abstract

InterAct is a form based User Interfaces (UI) designing framework for non-technical users. It can be used to design UIs for multiple device platforms. The framework mainly consists of two parts, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and a conversion library. The designed UIs are saved in an XML format, IXML. These user sketches are then converted into HTML pages which can be displayed in various devices using the conversion library. Data is bound to the UI elements at runtime. Usability is the major concern of the InterAct Framework. This aspect is addressed by applying the best practices of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in order to provide the user a better experience.
