Porthole: A spatial interface to provide scrolling, zooming-in, and zooming-out
A successful answer A main screen to display part of the image A sub window to display the entire image Introduction How do you see a Large Image within a Limited Screen?
A spatial interface to Scrolling, Zooming-in, and Zooming-out based on Porthole Metaphor Introduction Our answer came from a Porthole. In our system, More direct, intuitive, easier access.
Visual Effects It describes while Walking around. Near-Position Front-Position Far-Position Viewpoint Terms Viewpoint: a point from which we see. View Scene View: an area within which we see. Scene: an image that is seen through the view. Porthole Metaphor
Near-Position Front-Position Far-Position Porthole Metaphor The scene flows to the reverse.
Near-Position Front-Position Far-Position Porthole Metaphor The view is contracted and the scene is narrowed.
Near-Position Front-Position Far-Position Porthole Metaphor The view is expanded and the scene is widened.
Zooming-out Scrolling Zooming-in Porthole Metaphor As if the scene flowed. As if the scene was narrowed. As if the scene was widened.

Porthole Metaphor was introduced as three visual effects; Front-Position, Far-Position, and Near-Position. The similarity between these three visual effects and those of Scrolling, Zooming-in, and Zooming-out was focused on. A spatial interface to Scrolling, Zooming-in, and Zooming-out was proposed based on Porthole Metaphor. Conclusions Contributions
