ABSTRACT
The lodestones and leylines interaction technique simplifies navigation in electronic spaces by coordinating physical and conceptual movement-gently constraining motion to follow automatically computed paths to predicted destinations. This approach simplifies physical movement, ensures that movement leads to interesting locations and supports navigation to locations not visible from the current location. It is illustrated in a spatial multiscale environment where pilot data show reliable performance improvements.

"This is a lot easier!": constrained movement speeds navigation
CHI EA '03: CHI '03 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis paper reports on an experiment comparing constrained and unconstrained movement in a 2D zooming environment. Results showed a significant reduction in time on task when movement was constrained, accompanied by considerable decreases in mouse ...
Designing robots with movement in mind
Special Issue on Design in HRI: Past, Present, and FutureThis paper makes the case for designing interactive robots with their expressive movement in mind. As people are highly sensitive to physical movement and spatiotemporal affordances, well-designed robot motion can communicate, engage, and offer dynamic ...
Robot navigation: Implications from search strategies in exploring crayfish
Biomimetic applications play an important role in informing the field of robotics. One aspect is navigation – a skill automobile robots require to perform useful tasks. A sub-area of this is search strategies, e.g. for search and rescue, demining, ...
