CSS Zooming Posted by Daniel Burka on Friday, September 24, 2004 Last night I made a post on my weblog Delta Tango Bravo about a handy way to make not only text but images as well zoom in for people. Using a combination of simple javascript and background image replacement techniques, you can make a text-resizing widget more useful for your site's visitors. Anyway, check out a full description of how this works and see a working example . If you've got comments, please make them over on the other site so they're all in one place.
FancyBox - fancy image zooming tool
What's new Version 2 is completely rewritten with new features and updated graphics. Notable changes
FancyZoom 1.
Update: Version 1.1 released 2/8/08. Good bug fixes + Opera compatibility! ...so I fought back the charging Guanaco, immediately hopped on my paraglider, and basically caught the first flight out of Chile — but not without dealing with some cantankerous customs inspectors while drinking a cool glass of chicha . Really sorry it took so long! But hey, two years later, it's finally done! Smooth Javascript Image Zooming For Your Web Pages
Zooming User Interfaces -- NYU Media Research Lab
For the last decade the MRL has lead research efforts in Zooming User Interfaces (ZUIs). These interfaces create an intuitive information landscape - the user moves "further away" to get an overview, or "closer" for more detail, while keeping a sense of orientation and structure that traditional "pop-up" windows and dialogues can't match. Following Ken Perlin's initial "Pad" project (and patent with Prof. Jack Schwartz), a number of systems have been developed.
The rise of Zooming User Interfaces | In usability we trust
The first time I ever read anything about Zooming User Interfaces was when I was reading The Humane Interface by Jef Raskin, where he introduced the concept of Zoom World , a whole OS based on a Zooming User Interface (ZUI). Of course this wasn’t my first encounter with this type of user interface since I’ve, among other things, been using Interactive maps like Google Maps. But it was the first time that I started considering a Zooming Interface a viable alternative to the traditional interaction idioms. In this article I will explore some of the Zooming User Interfaces out there today and also take a sneak peak of what’s around the corner.Example of a ZUI In computing , a zooming user interface or zoomable user interface ( ZUI , pronounced zoo-ee) is a graphical environment where users can change the scale of the viewed area in order to see more detail or less, and browse through different documents . A ZUI is a type of graphical user interface (GUI). Information elements appear directly on an infinite virtual desktop (usually created using vector graphics ), instead of in windows. Users can pan across the virtual surface in two dimensions and zoom into objects of interest.
