Title
BubblesDial: exploring large display content graphs on small devices
Abstract
Large interfaces are fixed to a certain use context, for example to a physical smart space. Mobile counterparts of public interfaces can allow user to continue interacting with the content also when leaving the space. However, wall applications make use of a large display surface and fitting the same user interface to the constraints of a mobile screen is challenging. Starting with Bubble Wall -- an information exploration application for multitouch walls -- we developed interfaces for browsing the same content graphs on mobile devices. A comparison study in exploration and navigation tasks was conducted with two mobile interfaces reproducing the large screen interactions: BubbleSpace with a more faithful redesign and BubblesDial reducing the interactions for better fit to a small screen. The BubblesDial scored significantly better in usability and performance evaluation, especially when priming with use of the Bubble Wall. We also present implications for the redesign of these large content graph interactions for mobile use.
