Key Research Papers
Most of the original research work on Dasher was done by David Ward.
Between 1999 and 2002, three assessments of Dasher were made, comparing it with alternative text entry systems on three platforms:
- One-handed text-entry using mouse alone
- Text-entry on a pocket PC with a stylus
- Text-entry with no hands, using Dasher with an Eyetracker
The details can be found in David Ward's PhD thesis and in the publications listed below.
