This project will continue development on a new user interface methodology called a Mobile Infosphere (MI). The idea of the system is to place the user inside a sphere of information. When the head-mounted tracker senses movement the screen scrolls to show a different piece of the desktop. This way the user can access the entire Infosphere. The purpose of the project is to research new user interfaces for the MI. Our major focus will be designing, implementing, and extending a web-browsing interface called WebBrowse. We will also be conducting feasibility testing to test the usefulness of our system.
