Formative Evaluation of Flip Zooming: Towards Effective Integration of Detail and Context on Small Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed and evaluated a prototype image browser based on flip zooming, a focus+context visualization technique. In a formative evaluation, we contrasted the technique with two other methods to present images. The evaluation showed that users appreciated the overview that the flip zooming prototype provided. However, we also learned that the current prototype lacked some important features, and that some users felt that the flip zooming layout was confusing. By using a formative evaluation method we gained valuable information which may be used when developing this or other focus+context techniques.

متن کاملHierarchical Flip Zooming: Enabling Parallel Exploration of Hierarchical Visualizations
This paper describes hierarchical Flip Zooming, a focus+context visualization technique for hierarchical information sets. It allows for independent focus+context views at each node of the hierarchy and enables parallel exploration of different branches of the hierarchy. Visualization, navigation and interaction in the Flip Zooming technique is described as well as how the technique fits into e...
