Abstract

In this demo paper we present a multiscale browsing interface for handheld devices, in which the user can interactively change the scale of the storyboard to easily adjust the amount of information desired. Conventional and hierarchical storyboards provide one or very few possible lengths. In contrast, scalable storyboards allow the number of images and the storyboard itself to be adapted to the device constraints (e.g. aspect ratio, resolution) and navigation state with much finer granularity. Several levels and modes, including segment of interest, are provided for more intuitive and convenient navigation.
