Abstract

Displaying and navigating information on a large screen can be a challenge and has resulted in a variety of techniques such as text summarization and fisheye. An additional challenge is how to organize information on small screens in a format that can be understood in its context and facilitates navigation within the inherent constraints of these devices. We introduce a navigation model, the Gateway, to decrease transitional volatility introduced by migration of web pages to the smaller screen.
