Advancements in Visualizing Off-Screen Locations on Small Mobile Displays

This thesis by Sean Gustafson explores innovative techniques for visualizing off-screen locations on small mobile displays, focusing on methods to reduce clutter and enhance user accuracy in locating objects. It evaluates two interface conditions—halo and wedge—through user studies involving various task densities and contexts. The findings reveal that the wedge technique significantly improves accuracy, particularly in dense conditions and corner scenarios. This research contributes to the fields of human-computer interaction and mobile interface design, providing actionable insights for future developments.
