DIGIS (Direct Interactive Generation of Interactive Systems) is a graphical UI design environment for non‐programmers that facilitates the design of all aspects of a UI with direct manipulation techniques. DIGIS is based on four models: an object model, a system task model, an interaction model and a dialogue control model. These four models describe an interactive system at a high conceptual level which allows a UI designer to quickly construct a high quality direct manipulation UI that supports undo‐redo, context‐sensitive help and guidance, and connect the UI with the (existing) application.
