Detailed Description

Interfaces that deal with aspects other than text can be termed as non-textual interfaces. Audio, video, spoken language, performing arts, visuals, etc. are some examples of non-textual interfaces. Some of the examples identified from the non-computing environment were Warli paintings (narratives), Kathakali (gestures and audio), Dabba walas code signs (signs and symbols) and temple motifs (symbols). Because of time constraints the scope of the project was restricted to analysing only one from the above-mentioned.
