Squidy: A Zoomable Design Environment for Natural User Interfaces

We show the the interaction library Squidy which eases, the design of natural user interfaces by unifying relevant frameworks and toolkits in a common library. Squidy provides a central design environment based on high-level visual data flow programming combined with zoomable user interface concepts. The user interface offers a simple visual language and a collection of ready-to-use devices, filters and interaction techniques. The concept of semantic zooming enables nevertheless access to more advanced functionality on demand. Thus, users are able to adjust the complexity of the user interface to their current need and knowledge. Squidy has been developed at the Human-Computer Interaction Group at the University of Konstanz. http://hci.uni-konstanz.de/intehrdis

i work on it :-)

it rocks even more if you can "touch" it in real life ;-)
