ALLOWING CAMERA TILTS FOR DOCUMENT NAVIGATION IN STANDARD GUIs : A DISCUSSION AND AN EXPERIMENT
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the simple idea of allowing users of graphical user interface to view their documents in perspective whenever they need to navigate them. We argue that the virtual camera metaphor involved in GUIs can be likened to a flight simulator where looking in the direction of motion is impossible because the camera points fixedly to the ground. While little seems to have done been so far in HCI research to understand the potentialities and problems of camera tilting for generic document navigation, we claim that flat electronic documents have a future and we list a number of reasons why viewing a 2D document in perspective should help navigation. We analyze the problem of scale implosion in perspective views, and we report the data of an experiment aimed at testing some predictions from our theoretic analyses.
