Sometimes users of a multimedia retrieval system are not able to explicitly state their information need. They rather want to browse a collection in order to get an overview and to discover interesting content. In previous work, we have presented a novel interface implementing a fish-eye-based approach for browsing high-dimensional multimedia data that has been projected onto display space. The impact of projection errors is alleviated by introducing an adaptive nonlinear multi-focus zoom lens. This work describes the evaluation of this approach in a user study where participants are asked to solve an exploratory image retrieval task using the SpringLens interface. As a baseline, the usability of the interface is compared to a common pan-and-zoom-based interface. The results of a survey and the analysis of recorded screencasts and eye tracking data are presented.
