本文提出了一种新的圆形用户界面设计的圆形，桌面显示器开发的可视化和布局方案。由于所有显示的项目都在极坐标系中，因此必须重新访问许多界面和可视化方案，以考虑UI元素的这种新布局。我们讨论的直接影响，这样一个循环的界面上的文件方向。我们描述了两种类型的鱼眼变形的圆形布局，并解释了如何使用它们在多人协作界面。这两种方案为圆形接口提供了一个通用的布局框架。我们还设计了一种新的可视化技术，来自我们强调的圆形布局的特殊性。在该技术中，用户控制分层树的元素的布局。我们的方法是为用户提供丰富的交互可能性，以轻松，快速地产生一个布局相媲美的双曲线视图在施乐PARC开发。本文中提出的可视化工作是我们正在进行的个人数字历史学家（PDH）研究项目的一部分。PDH的总体目标是研究如何在交互式多人对话环境中有效和直观地组织，导航，浏览，呈现和可视化数字数据。
This paper presents visualization and layout schemes developed for a novel circular user interface designed for a round, tabletop display. Since all the displayed items are in a polar coordinate system, many interface and visualization schemes must be revisited to account for this new layout of UI elements. We discuss the direct implications of such a circular interface on document orientation. We describe two types of fisheye deformation of the circular layout and explain how to use them in a multi-person collaborative interface. These two schemes provide a general layout framework for circular interfaces. We have also designed a new visualization technique derived from the particularities of the circular layout we have highlighted. In this technique the user controls the layout of the elements of a hierarchical tree. Our approach is to provide the user rich interaction possibilities to easily and quickly produce a layout comparable to the hyperbolic view developed at Xerox PARC. The visualization work presented in this paper is part of our ongoing Personal Digital Historian (PDH) research project. The overall goal of PDH is to investigate ways to effectively and intuitively organize, navigate, browse, present and visualize digital data in an interactive multi-person conversational setting.
