ABSTRACT We describe a new interaction technique, called a spotlight, for directing the ,visual attention of ,an audience when viewing dataor presentations on large wall-sized displays. A spotlight is simply a region of the displaywhere,the contents are displayed normally while the remainder of the display is somewhat darkened. In thispaper we define the behavior of spotlights, show unique affordances of the technique, and discuss,design characteristics. We also report ,on experiments that show ,the benefit of ,using the spotlight a large displayand standard desktop configuration. Our results suggest that the spotlight is preferred over the standard cursor and outperforms it by a factor of 3.4 on a wall-sized display. Categories and ,Subject Descriptors: H.5.2 [User Interfaces]: Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), Windowing Systems Additional Keywords and Phrases: large displays, attention, field of view, user study. |
