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. "Pad++" was developed in collaboration with Prof. Ben Bederson and Prof. Ongoing MRL work in this area includes ZUIs for the web and handheld devices, with uses ranging from complex software controls to authoring and reading structured documents. Zooming Pad Demo Pad Web Navigation Demo Patents PAD patent. 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. Why Zooming User Interfaces Consider this. The maze in this analogy are applications today, confined inside the constraints of the desktop metaphore. Through the evolution of man we’ve relied on recognizing landmarks as means to find our way around. Are ZUI’s difficult to use or hard to understand? Examples of ZUI’s Prezi Seadragon DeepZoom Mooncake Example. Zooming user interface. Example of a ZUI When the level of detail present in the resized object is changed to fit the relevant information into the current size, instead of being a proportional view of the whole object, it's called semantic zooming.[1] Some experts consider the ZUI paradigm as a flexible and realistic successor to the traditional windowing GUI, being a Post-WIMP interface.
But little effort is currently spent developing ZUIs, while there are ongoing efforts for developing other types of GUIs.
