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

Many information structures are represented as two-dimensional networks (connected
graphs) of links and nodes. Because these network tend to be large and quite complex …

Calendar applications for small handheld devices are growing in popularity. This led us to
develop DateLens, a novel calendar interface for PDAs designed to support complex tasks …
