  2. WIMP (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing)

    A word processing program that uses a WIMP paradigm, providing mouse-operated toolbars and menus to access its functions. In human–computer interaction, WIMP stands for "windows, icons, menus, pointer", [1] [2] [3] denoting a style of interaction using these elements of the user interface. Other expansions are sometimes used, such as ...

  3. Virtual desktop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_desktop

    In computing, a virtual desktop is a term used with respect to user interfaces, usually within the WIMP paradigm, to describe ways in which the virtual space of a computer's desktop environment is expanded beyond the physical limits of the screen's display area through the use of software.

  4. Windowing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windowing_system

    Typical elements of a window.The window decoration is either drawn by the window manager or by the client. The drawing of the content is the task of the client. In computing, a windowing system (or window system) is a software suite that manages separately different parts of display screens. [1]

  5. Direct manipulation interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_manipulation_interface

    Direct manipulation is closely associated with interfaces that use windows, icons, menus, and a pointing device (WIMP GUI) as these almost always incorporate direct manipulation to at least some degree. However, direct manipulation should not be confused with these other terms, as it does not imply the use of windows or even graphical output.

  6. Post-WIMP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-WIMP

    In computing, post-WIMP ("windows, icons, menus, pointer") comprises work on user interfaces, mostly graphical user interfaces, which attempt to go beyond the paradigm of windows, icons, menus and a pointing device, i.e. WIMP interfaces.

  7. Weakly interacting massive particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly_interacting_massive...

    Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are hypothetical particles that are one of the proposed candidates for dark matter.. There exists no formal definition of a WIMP, but broadly, it is an elementary particle which interacts via gravity and any other force (or forces) which is as weak as or weaker than the weak nuclear force, but also non-vanishing in strength.

    The DRIFT-IId Detector removed from the vacuum vessel for maintenance. The Directional Recoil Identification from Tracks (DRIFT) detector is a low pressure negative ion time projection chamber (NITPC) designed to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) - a prime dark matter candidate.
