Zomit: A Zoomable User Interface
Stuart Pook - Eric Lecolinet, Telecom ParisTech
Semantic Zooming and Control Menus
Zomit is a generic package for developing zoomable user interfaces (ZUIs) that can aid in navigating
large information spaces.
Zomit includes new navigation (focus+context) aids and a new interaction model based on
Control Menus. A control menu is a new type of popup menu that is visually similar to a Pie Menu
and makes it possible to select and control an operation in a single gesture.
Zomit has a client/server architecture and the client was written in Java so that it can be used
over the Internet as a Java applet.
