Monet

Designers can prototype continuous widgets and their states of interest using examples in Monet. They can also demonstrate compound behaviors involving multiple widgets by direct manipulation. Monet allows continuous interactions to be easily integrated with event-based, discrete interactions. Continuous widgets can be embedded into storyboards and their states can condition or trigger storyboard transitions. Monet achieves these features by employing continuous function approximation and statistical classification techniques, without using any domain specific knowledge or assuming any application semantics.
