Abstract

This paper presents SpiraList, a focus+context visualization technique for interacting with large lists on handheld devices. SpiraList has been specifically designed to fit the constraints of small tactile screens. It provides a global view of large lists by way of a compact layout based on a spiral representation. Its design also allows for direct interaction with fingers. The combination of this compact layout and one-handed interaction makes SpiraList particularly suitable for mobility.
