Rectangular Display with Delayed/Highlighted Letters

This design will take a typical keyboard layout and either highlight the likely following characters as determined by an autocomplete form. |
Another similar design choice could be to have the characters fade away for the less likely letters, and display the more likely letters with stronger colors. We borrow this idea from Findlater et. al. in their Ephemeral Adaptation Study \[1\]. |
For instance, if Billy is searching for “Pirate’s of the Caribbean” and has typed “Pir” into the search form, the next most likely letter will be “a” (the results from the autocomplete of “Pir” are shown below). Therefore, our keyboard will have the letter “a” highlighted with green.

The procedure for selecting a movie is shown above. Entering a username would be similar, except there will not be any letter prediction because usernames are generally randomly chosen words for uniqueness. The process for selecting a password would be the same as for choosing a username, except the previously chosen letters would show up as asterisks for security reasons.
