ABSTRACT
Default image browsing interfaces on touch-based mobile devices provide limited support for image search tasks. To facilitate fast and convenient searches we propose an alternative interface that takes advantage of 3D graphics and arranges images on a rotatable globe according to color similarity. In a user study we compare the new design to the iPad's image browser. Results collected from 24 participants show that for color-sorted image collections the globe can reduce search time by 23% without causing more errors and that it is perceived as being fun to use and preferred over the standard browsing interface by 70% of the participants.

The Stack-of-Rings Interface for Large-Scale Image Browsing on Mobile Touch Devices
MM '14: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM international conference on MultimediaWe 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 ...
