ABSTRACT
Increasingly expressive input and information presentation techniques are said to enhance interactivity. This paper argues that increased interactivity alone is not sufficient. Though in many cases it may allow more flexible or efficient methods for conveying users' needs, it is often true that a range of retrieved information is obtained from which the user must filter the really useful information. This problem is exacerbated with the increasing popularity of the Internet and its use of multiple media types. This paper describes a 'volume' control for multimedia objects. The volume control is used to adjust the level of detail presented in multiple media objects.
