Focus-Plus-Context Context Techniques for Picoprojection Picoprojection-Based Based Interaction
Abstract: In this paper, we report on novel zooming interface methods that deploy a small handheld projector. Using mobile projections to visualize object/environmentobject/environment related information on real objects introduces new aspects for zooming interfaces. Different approaches are investigated that focus on maintaining a level of context while exploring detailed information. Doing so, we propose methods that provide alternative contextual cues w within ithin a single projector and deploy the potential of zoom lenses to support a multilevel zooming approach. Furthermore, we look into the correlation between pixel density, distance to the target, and projection size. Alongside these techniques, we report o on n multiple user studies, in which we quantified the projection limitations and validated various interactive visualization approaches. Thereby, we focused on solving issues related to pixel density, brightness, and contrast that affect the design of more eeffective ffective legible zooming interfaces for handheld projectors.
