Abstract

A virtual workspace assists users to organize information on the desktop better. With such an intention, a virtual workspace concept named Desktop Aksi is proposed which accommodates three important aspects of desktop management i.e., finding and reminding, task-switching and spatial proximity to personal social communication. On realization of this workspace, users will be able to bring meaning and context to their task at hand. With the help of focus+context technique based on Hyperbolic Geometry users can navigate the information space.
