Abstract:

Interactive display has become a popular information presentation technology in Human-computer interface development. This technology modifies presentation information and/or its layout according to users’ current operation or their personal habits. The interactive display can be classified into two major categories: the simple (e.g., the fisheye display) and the intelligent interactive displays (e.g., the speed-coupled flattening and the bubble targets display). Interactive display has three features: dynamicness, realtimeness, and intelligence. Most of the current interactive display technologies were far from perfect. For example, they were limited in the number of interactive methods, most of which were still lack of intelligence. Thus, future studies should focus on developing interactive displays with multiple interactive methods, and with advanced intelligence.

Key words: information presentation technology, interactive display, dynamic interface
