Drawing upon existing literature on Drawing upon existing literature on zooming interface technology, intuitive zooming interface technology, intuitive navigation of large volumes of data, navigation of large volumes of data, query previews, and hierarchical query query previews, and hierarchical query results, we propose a visual data results, we propose a visual data search tool with implicit spatial search tool with implicit spatial boolean logic and a 3D (two boolean logic and a 3D (two dimensions of space and one of scale) dimensions of space and one of scale) query preview window that will allow query preview window that will allow fast, dynamic searchesfast, dynamic searches..
Pad/Pad++Pad/Pad++ Pad is a continuously zoomable
interface that navigates through a set of data that can be described in two dimensions. The data is grouped in a hierarchy that is built over this data. Information may be stored in the nodes or leaves of the resulting tree.
Navigation through the tree includes interstitial animations (zooming) that provide hints as to user’s current position within the hierarchy.

Space/Scale DiagramsSpace/Scale Diagrams Space-Scale Diagrams:
Understanding Multiscale Interfaces George W. Furnas and
Benjamin B. Bederson Provide a means of describing
different zooming techniques.
Pad/Pad++Pad/Pad++ 2D data image mapped over 3rd
dimension (scale) Pad is a 2D + 1D mapping space, where
the 1D is scale Panning and zooming operations can
be visualized in this space for a constant size window navigating in
3 dimensions panning moves are within a constant x-y
plane zooming moves are up and down the z
axis
Fisheye ViewFisheye View Generalized Fisheye Views (1986)
George W. Furnas Combine some features of full-zoom
technology with some contextual information.
Describe a “degree of interest”--information that is of greater interest to the user will be zoomed, but contextual information will remain.

Usability testing that supports fisheye view’s usefulness in navigating hierarchized two-dimensional data. 2D + 1D data space.
Fisheye ViewFisheye View 3D-ZOOM: Interactive Visualization of
Structures and Relations in Complex Graphics Andreas Raab and Michael Ruger
Application of fisheye zoom techniques for visualizing 3D medical models. 3D + 1D data space.
Allows for deformation of contextual information and transparency to de-emphasize contextual information.
Fisheye ViewFisheye View
Fisheye views can be described by space-scale diagrams fisheye views can be seen as
overlapping windows in the 2D + 1D space
with deformations, fisheye views more closely resemble a lens in 3D space
Perspective Walls/Cone-TreesPerspective Walls/Cone-Trees Perspective walls
present focus area and contextual information.
Cone-trees map the data + hierarchy into three dimensional space.

Mapping Search ResultsMapping Search Results Dynamic searches utilizing query
previews and data sets returned allow for more interactive and faster searches.
Zero-hit and mega-hit search returns can be foreseen and avoided.
