ABSTRACT
We propose a new interface for browsing large image collections on touch-enabled devices, which allows for faster visual search than a common grid interface. The proposed interface consists of 3D rings arranged in a vertical stack. Each ring can be rotated independently with a horizontal wipe gesture and the whole stack can be moved up and down with vertical wipe gestures. We present results from a user study with 16 participants, where we compared the performance of the proposed interface to the one provided by the default image browsing interface on tablets. The evaluation results show that the proposed interface performs significantly faster than the default interface on the tablet and achieves a significantly better rating by the users.
