Abstract
The evolution of computer front panels and punch tapes and punch cards to teletype interfaces and the keyboards of modern personal computers shows that the problem of a faster man-machine interaction has been a great scientific and technological challenge since the origin of computers. During the last decades many efforts have been made in the technological field to design special peripheral devices such as the graphic tablet, the scanner, the mouse, electronic ink and so on. Furthermore, efforts have also been made to study models of writing generation motor and recognition algorithms. But in spite of technological and architectural progress made in the field of computers, the problem of a friendly interaction between man and computer at least at the same friendly level that exists with a sheet of paper and a pencil, still remains unresolved.
