PYI: Graphical interface alternatives to window systems.

这是第一年的基数和等额资金， 保华连续五年获奖。 PI致力于设计 用于协作环境的接口。 目前的研究 是设计，让一个人看到许多其他的布局， 合作者的表面一目了然。 本研究旨在 提供了一种递归系统， 眼镜，通过它可以读，写，或创建交叉- 可无限放大（可缩放）表面上的引用。 一 用于动态显示这种信息的算法的数量 在未增强位图工作站上“真实的时间”中， 由作者开发。 这项研究将继续进行， 中定义和实现基本函数集合 交互式可缩放窗口系统。 然后，系统将 扩展到整个网络，从而提供共享的 允许任意数量用户的信息空间 在一个共同的虚拟环境中工作，每个人都可能享受 对这个环境的不同看法。 研究人员还将 构建应用程序，包括多尺度图形“黄页” 和共享的电子表格系统，以测试的真实的好处， 实施系统。

This is the first year base and matching amount funding of a five-year PYI continuing award. The PI works on design of interfaces for collaborative environments. The current research is on designs that allow one to see the layout of many other collaborator's surfaces at a glance. This research aims to provide a recursive system of indefinitely zoomable magnifying glasses through which one can read, write, or create cross- references on an indefinitely enlargeable (zoomable) surface. A number of algorithms for dynamically displaying such information in 'real time' on unenhanced bit-mapped workstations have already been developed by the author. The research will continue by defining and implementing the basic collection of functions in the interactive zoomable window system. Then, the system will be extended across a network, thereby making available a shared information space which will allow an arbitrary number of users to work in a common virtual environment, each possibly enjoying a different view of this environment. The researcher will also build applications, including multiscale graphical "yellow pages" and shared spreadsheet systems, to test the real benefit of the implemented system.
