Abstract
The purpose of this study is to realize intuitive personal computer (PC) operation to reduce the gap between the real world and the virtual world by using a desktop environment with images of pictorial supplies and radio frequency identification (RFID). A preliminary experiment was conducted to obtain a suitable combination of supplies corresponding to actions on a PC. After analyzing the results, we developed a desktop environment where users can start application software by overlaying some pictorial supply images. We also developed a system using RFID that links a printed document to its file data in the PC. A subject experiment was performed to evaluate the proposed system. The results indicated that the system was effective for a user interface (UI) for novice users.
