We propose a navigation technique for browsing large documents that integrates rate-based scrolling with automatic zooming. The view automatically zooms out when the user scrolls rapidly so that the perceptual scrolling speed in screen space remains constant. As a result, the user can efficiently and smoothly navigate through a large document without becoming disoriented by extremely fast visual flow. By incorporating semantic zooming techniques the user can smoothly access a global overview of the document during rate-based scrolling. We implemented several prototype systems, including a web browser, map viewer, image browser, and dictionary viewer. An informal usability study suggests that for a document browsing task, most subjects prefer automatic zooming and the technique exhibits approximately equal performance time to scroll bars , suggesting that automatic zooming is a helpful alternative totraditional scrolling when the zoomed out view provides appropriate visual cues.

Abstract. We provide a dynamic systems interpretation of the coupling of internal states involved in speed-dependent automatic zooming, and test our implementation on a text browser on a Pocket PC instrumented with an accelerometer. The dynamic systems approach to the design of such continuous interaction interfaces allows the incorporation of analytical tools and constructive techniques from manual and automatic control theory. We illustrate experimental results of the use of the proposed coupled navigation and zooming interface with classical scroll and zoom alternatives. 1

In previous work, the Sonic Browser was used for browsing large data sets of music [1]. In this paper, we report results from an updated version of the Sonic Browser for managing general sound resources on personal computers. In particular, we have evaluated browsing of everyday sounds. The investigation was directed at comparing browsing single versus multiple stream audio. The problem of sound resource browsing for multimedia designers is the specific area of focus for our experiment. Finally, we conclude with current trends of our research for further improvement of the system. 1.

Collections of sound and music of increasing size and diversity are used both by typical computer users and multimedia designers. Browsing audio collections poses several challenges to the design of effective user interfaces. Recent techniques in audio information retrieval allow the automatic extraction of audio content information. This information can be used to inform and enhance audio browsing tools. In this paper we describe how audio information retrieval can be utilized to create novel user interfaces for browsing of audio collections. More specifically we report on recent work on two system prototypes: the Sonic Browser and Marsyas and our current work on merging the two systems in a common flexible system. 1.

Scrolling is used to navigate large information spaces on small screens, but is often too restrictive or cumbersome to use for particular types of content, such as multi-page, multi-column documents. To address this problem, we introduce content-aware scrolling (CAS), an approach that takes into account various characteristics of document content to determine scrolling direction, speed, and zoom. We also present the CAS widget, which supports scrolling through a content-aware path using traditional scrolling methods, demonstrating the advantages of making a tradi-tional technique content-aware.

. Although the age of information appliances is getting close, current remote control devices are too awkward, and we cannot control sophisticated equipments without using graphical computer terminals. We propose a new interaction technique called the Real-world GUI, where users can control real-world appliances just like performing GUI operations on graphical computer terminals, using a new input device called the FieldMouse. FieldMouse is a device which consists of an ID recognizer and a motion sensing device. Using a FieldMouse, various GUI tools like buttons, menus, sliders, and others can be used on any surface and objects, just like using a mouse on a desktop computer. Users can control or program various information appliances as easily as performing GUI operations on graphical computer terminals. 1 Introduction People expect that more and more computers and information appliances are going to be used hidden in the background of our households [8]. In such an environ...

Scrollbars provide a simple way to traverse an information space, but they provide little data about the actual contents of the space. Of the many visualization techniques that have been proposed, few have maintained the simple functionality of the scrollbar while showing improved performance on typical scrollbar tasks. This paper presents two enhancements to the scrollbar, a mural bar and a pile bar, which encode data about the information space contents into the trough of the bar. Results from an experiment suggest that these new devices lead to improved user performance on several common scrollbar tasks.
