Focus+Context Intuition

◮ move part of surface closer to eye ◮ stretchable rubber sheet ◮ borders tacked down ◮ merge overview and detail into combined

view

Fisheye Followup

◮ degree of interest (DOI): a priori importance

(API), distance (D)

◮ distortion vs. selection ◮ agnostic to geometry

◮ what is shown vs. how it is shown ◮ how shown

◮ geometric distortion: TrueSize as implicit API ◮ ZUIs: temporal/memory harder than side by

side

◮ multiple views: topological discontinuity at

edges

◮ multires displays: big and heavy...

SLIDE 10

2D Hyperbolic Trees

◮ static structure, allowing distance defn ◮ LOD/API at points within structure ◮ interaction focused at point/region ◮ fisheye effect from hyperbolic geometry

Avoiding Disorientation

◮ problem

◮ maintain user orientation when showing detail ◮ hard for big datasets

◮ exponential in depth

◮ node count, space needed

Overview and detail

◮ two windows: add linked overview

◮ cognitive load to correlate

Overview and detail

◮ two windows: add linked overview

◮ cognitive load to correlate

◮ solution

◮ merge overview, detail ◮ focus+context

Noneuclidean Geometry

◮ Euclid’s 5th Postulate

◮ exactly 1 parallel line

◮ spherical

◮ geodesic = great circle ◮ no parallels

◮ hyperbolic

◮ infinite parallels

(torus.math.uiuc.edu/jms/java/dragsphere)

Parallel vs. Equidistant

◮ euclidean: inseparable ◮ hyperbolic: different

Klein vs Poincare

◮ Klein

◮ straight lines stay straight ◮ angles are distorted

◮ Poincare

◮ angles are correct ◮ straight lines curved

◮ graphics

◮ Klein: 4x4 real matrix ◮ Poincare: 2x2 complex matrix

slide-21

Upper Half Space

◮ cut and unroll Poincare

◮ one point on circle goes to infinity
