This work was supported in part by ARPA contract N66001-94-C-6039 to the University of New Mexico. We especially appreciate the support we have received from Craig Wier as part of the new HCI Initiative at ARPA. We thank David Fox and Matthew Fuchs at NYU and Eric De Mund, David Vick and Jason Stewart at UNM for enjoyable discussions about zoomable interfaces. We also would like to acknowledge members of the Computer Graphics and Interactive Media Research Group at Bellcore for discussions shared during our continuing search for the best cheeseburger.

N2 - We describe Pad++, a zoomable graphical sketchpad that we are exploring as an alternative to traditional window and icon-based interfaces. We discuss the motivation for Pad++, describe the implementation and present prototype applications. In addition, we introduce an informational physics strategy for interface design and briefly contrast it with current design strategies. We envision a rich world of dynamic persistent informational entities that operate according to multiple physics specifically designed to provide cognitively facile access and serve as the basis for the design of new computationally-based work materials.
