| Summary: | Information navigation on handheld displays is characterized
by the small display dimensions and limited input
capabilities of today’s mobile devices. Special strategies are
required to help users navigate to off-screen content and
develop awareness of spatial layouts despite the small display.
Yet, handheld devices offer interaction possibilities
that desktop computers do not. Handheld devices can easily
be moved in space and used as a movable window into
a large virtual workspace. We investigate different information
navigation methods for small-scale handheld displays
using a range of sensor technologies for spatial tracking. We
compare user performance in an abstract map navigation
task and discuss the tradeoffs of the different sensor and
visualization techniques. |
