NSF Project Award Number: ITR-0113892
One application of Dynapad is to explore image-based information access. Currently we are developing applications to provide multiscale visual organization and access to digital photo collections and personal libraries of PDF documents. The research objective is to explore a generalization of the notion of a “pile” as a foundation for a versatile suite of tools to provide unobtrusive assistance for organizational and other sensemaking activities. Our goals are to develop an architecture to facilitate design of multiscale image-based applications and abstract a set of principles for designing effective spatial tools.
