Abstract

In this paper we introduce the novel user interface paradigm ZOIL (Zoomable Object-Oriented Information Landscape). ZOIL is aimed at unifying all types of local and remote information items with their connected functionality and with their mutual relations in a single visual workspace as a replacement of today s desktop metaphor. This workspace can serve as an integrated work environment for traditional personal information management (PIM), but can also be used for PIM tasks in a wider sense. By formulating ZOIL s fundamental design principles we describe the interaction style, visualization techniques and interface physics of a ZOIL user interface. Furthermore we discuss ZOIL s ability to provide nomadic PIM environments for mobile and stationary use.
