As such, our proposal is to generate visually distinctive icons (“VisualIDs”) automatically, while allowing the user to replace the icon if desired. While scenery (in the form of custom icon assignments) is already possible in current op- erating systems, few if any users take the time to manually assign icons to all their files. Specifically, we propose that spatial display of files is not sufficient to engage our visual skills scenery (distinctive visual appearance) is needed as well.
Our paper presents a fundamentally graphics based approach to this ‘lost in hyperspace’ problem. Lewis, Ruth Rosenholtz, Nickson Fong, and Ulrich NeumannĪlthough existing GUIs have a sense of space, they provide no sense of place. VisualIDs: Automatic Distinctive Icons for Desktop Interfaces
