“…Despite the popularity of these patterns, related research has mostly investigated Overview+Detail in a different context, namely navigation in two-dimensional map views. One study reported benefits [6], another pointed out the drawback of reduced screen size [7]. In summary, the above conflicting results indicate a need for further evaluation.…”

“…Indeed, it is coherent with the well-known "global-detail" pattern [Card et al 1999], which suggests providing a data overview first and then details on demand for the only items selected by the users in the overview. This pattern is very common in Web application design [Ceri et al 2007]; more recently, it has being effectively adopted in mobile app design as well [Burigat and Chittaro 2013]. It is also applicable in almost any type of visualization.…”

A UI-Centric Approach for the End-User Development of Multidevice Mashups

In recent years, models, composition paradigms, and tools for mashup development have been proposed to support the integration of information sources, services and APIs available on the Web. The challenge is to provide a gate to a "programmable Web," where end users are allowed to construct easily composite applications that merge content and functions so as to satisfy the long tail of their specific needs. The approaches proposed so far do not fully accommodate this vision. This article, therefore, proposes a mashup development framework that is oriented toward the End-User Development. Given the fundamental role of user interfaces (UIs) as a medium easily understandable by the end users, the proposed approach is characterized by UI-centric models able to support a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) specification of data integration and service orchestration. It, therefore, contributes to the definition of adequate abstractions that, by hiding the technology and implementation complexity, can be adopted by the end users in a kind of "democratic" paradigm for mashup development. This article also shows how model-to-code generative techniques translate models into application schemas, which in turn guide the dynamic instantiation of the composite applications at runtime. This is achieved through lightweight execution environments that can be deployed on the Web and on mobile devices to support the pervasive use of the created applications.

“…Moreover, O+D helps users to recall the position of objects in the considered information space. In a subsequent study [6], Burigat and Chittaro compared different implementations of O+D, to better understand the effects of highlighting objects of interest in the overview and the possibility to directly manipulate the viewfinder. Results show that both factors are beneficial to users in map search tasks, with manipulability providing the highest performance improvement.…”

Overview+Detail [25] and Wedge [16] have been proposed in the literature as effective approaches to resolve the off-screen objects problem on mobile devices. However, they have been studied with a small number of off-screen objects and (in most studies) with static scenarios, in which users did not have to perform any navigation activity. In this paper, we propose improvements to Wedge and Overview+Detail which are specifically aimed at simplifying their use in dynamic scenarios that involve large numbers of off-screen objects. We compare the effectiveness of the two approaches in the considered scenario with a user study, whose results show that Overview+Detail allows users to be faster in searching for off-screen objects and more accurate in estimating their location.
