  • How does it work?

The scaling software
  • Display image on two display units of different
    resolution
  • Similar to two-headed display
  • but display units are overlapping
  • and one of them has to be scaled down
  • (Related work Flux capacitorDr. Emmett Brown,

Evaluation
  • Field study
  • 12 professionals, 2 gamers
  • Nobody uses overview plus detail
  • A list of tasks for the experiments
  • 1st exp large static documents
  • Task completion 21 and 36 faster
  • 2nd exp dynamic dual attention task
  • Error rate only 1/3 of two-monitor setup

17
What we learned
  • We thoughtChip designers need it
  • We learnedReal strength is dynamic content
  • Have unexpected context information
  • Two monitoring tasks at the same time
