LensBar - Visualization for Browsing and Filtering Large Lists of Data


Abstract
We propose a simple and powerful graphical interface tool called the LensBar, for filtering and visualizing a large list of data. Browsing and querying are the most important techniques for information retrieval, and LensBar integrates the two techniques into a simple-looking scroll window with a slider. While it looks familiar to users of conventional graphical interface tools, its filtering and zooming mechanism offers sophisticated handling of large lists of text-oriented data.
