There has been a bit of a buzz lately about Pie menus. This has been prompted by the availability of an mouse gestures add-in for Mozilla. My interest has been peaked because as a player of the Sims I have been using them quite a bit without realising it. I think it is interesting to note that my non-technical girlfriend got into playing the game very quickly and didn’t need guiding through any of the menu options. The ease with which they can be used by non-technical personnel leads me to believe that they may have an important role to play in future HCI development.
