Lean and Zoom (Chris Harrison, Anind Dey) - CHI '07

[windheavenX]

so you've pretty much automated a pre existing function

Ctrl + mouse wheel...(zoom)

..cool enough..

but tbh imo...people should stop using bloody latops...and rather use desktops if they have the option to...(i.e setting up a correctly heightened monitor does the trick to eradicating the need to lean) ...way to many people spend double the money/cost on Laptops over desktops..funny thing is...they never buy the laptops cause they need to...half the time its a fasion statement

nice

could you also include a mode where the text will always remain at the same perceived zoom scale, independent of the user's distance from the screen? that way, a user could change position in a room but continue to use a display without reconfiguring or moving it.

very exciting!

beautiful. can you make the zoom smooth? also, integrating this with your head tracking, you could make text rotate and zoom to match the user's posture (for example, if i get tired and lay my head down but still want to read).
