th e problem
(also not great: corners) side corner
initial approaches clustering ovals Baudisch & Rosenholtz Irani et al. cut lines color separatevisually
separate geometrically • circles offer only a single degree of freedom: radius (aka intrusion) • in some cases varying allows resolving overlap,in others it does not • how can we get additional degrees of freedom?

u ser study
two interface conditions halo and wedge
task 1: locate same as original halo paper halo wedge
task 2: closest same as original halo paper halo wedge
task 3: avoid same as original halo paper halo wedge
IV: density sparse dense same as original halo paper = dense, remapped to bottom left corner
hypotheses • 1. wedge is more accurate • larger improvement in dense condition • larger improvement in corners • (no hypothesis about task time)
participants were significantly more accurate when using the wedge
