One of the common problems associated with large computer-based information systems is
the relatively small window through which an information space can be viewed. Increasing …

Forming connections between human performance and design, this new edition of
Engineering Psychology and Human Performance examines human–machine interaction …

Information visualization is not only about creating graphical displays of complex and latent
information structures; it contributes to a broader range of cognitive, social, and collaborative …

Since the beginning of the computer age, researchers from many disciplines have sought to
facilitate people's use of computers and to provide ways for scientists to make sense of the …

A fisheye camera lens is a very wide angle lens that magnifies nearby objects while
shrinking distant objects. It is a valuable tool for seeing both “local detail” and “global …

We introduce “fisheye menus” which apply traditional fisheye graphical visualization
techniques to linear menus. This provides for an efficient mechanism to select items from …

Making effective use of the available display space has long been a fundamental issue in
user interface design. We live in a time of rapid advances in available CPU power and …

Interactive techniques are powerful tools for manipulating visualizations to analyze,
communicate and acquire information. This is especially true for large data sets or complex …

Navigating and viewing large information spaces, such as hierarchically-organized networks
from complex realtime systems, suffer the problems of viewing a large space on a small …

Users often must browse hierarchies with thousands of nodes in search of those that best
match their information needs. ThePDQ Tree-browser (Pruning with Dynamic Queries) …
