Because of the many requests for further info on George Furnas's work with fisheye views, I decided to post the following iformation that I have been sending to individuals Here is additional info on fisheye views by George Furnas. I have two papers. One is entitled "Generalized Fisheye Views" and is from the Proceedings of the ACM SIGCHI conference, 1986. The other one I obtained from George entitled "SemNet: Three-Dimensional Graphic Representations of Large Knowledge Bases" by Kim Fairchild and Steven E. Poltrock from MCC and George Furnas from Bell Labs. It is in a book edited by R. Guindon entitled "Cognitive Science and its Application to Human Computer Interaction", published by Erlbaum & Associates, Hillsdale, New Jersey. I talked to George last Friday, and he indicated he would be willing to talk to interested people, directly. His telephone number is (201)829-4289. His mailing address is Bell Communications Research, 435 South St., Morristown, New Jersey (I don't have the zip). His e-mail address is GWF@BellCore.Com. I hope you will find this helpful. I certainly think the idea is a powerful one and am anxious to get something going with it in a tool for viewing knowledge bases. Larry Wood, Brigham Young University, WoodL@BYUVAX.bitnet
