- Readmore 19y agoDitto to the zoomable interfaces. There is a lot of potential there.
- nickb 19y agoCare to share some links/references on zoomable interfaces?
- euccastro 19y agoI first heard of the concept in Jef Raskin's The Humane Interface. Here's a bit of a survey: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000858.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000858.html
- fuelfive 19y agoThe ZUI was the worst idea in Raskin's book. You can't use muscle memory for the system because the target x,y positions and sizes change based on how zoomed in you are. Worse, the ZUI doesn't solve the biggest bottleneck in the existing GUI canon - asking the user to arrange and keep track of his own crap. His ZUI concept is like the mac or windows desktop, except now you get a magnifying glass. The better method is search, or more accurately, comprehension, but this is a grail quest, and my solution isn't done yet.
