Disorientation in Electronic Environments: A Study of Hypertext and Continuous Zooming Interfaces.

Paez, Linda B.; Bezerra da Silva-Fh., Jose; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996

Questionnaires, observation, and taped interviews of 36 graduate students were used to compare and evaluate the use of a continuous zooming graphical interface and a typical jump-based hypertext interface, with a focus on minimizing user disorientation when reading documents. Learning time, performance and user satisfaction were evaluated. (AEF)
