The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

0 0 1 93 534 Architecture, Planning & Landscape 4 1 626 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE This article presents the development of a video- prototype for a system which merges physical and digital research spaces through the interaction of physical research materials – notably books and research papers. The interface showcased in this video makes use of Macroscope, a physics system based visualisation tool that employs tf*idf analysis to ascertain semantic connections between research papers. The video develops a narrative describing a users interaction with our novel system based on five interaction techniques which enable an intuitive exploration of physical and digital information spaces simultaneously.
