Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

WING (Whole Interactive Nara Guide) is a system to enable smooth information retrieval by integrating multiple search strategies such as 3-D map visualization, hypertext, keyword search, and category search with the same smooth zooming interface. Nara, located about 40 kilometers south of Kyoto, is an ancient capital of Japan and full of tourist attractions like old shrines and temples. Using WING, any vague knowledge about the data can be utilized to narrow the search space, and users can smoothly navigate through Nara at will, by modifying the search area in each view.

Masui, Toshiyuki, Minakuchi, Mitsuru, Borden IV, George R. and Kashiwagi, Kouichi (1995): Multiple-View Approach for Smooth Information Retrieval. In: Robertson, George G. (ed.) Proceedings of the 8th annual ACM symposium on User interface and software technology November 15 - 17, 1995, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. pp. 199-206.

Although various visualization techniques have been proposed for information retrieval tasks, most of them are based on a single strategy for viewing and navigating through the information space, and vague knowledge such as a fragment of the name of the object is not effective for the search. In contrast, people usually look for things using various vague clues simultaneously. For example, in a library, people can not only walk through the shelves to find a book they have in mind, but also they can be reminded of the author's name by viewing the books on the shelf and check the index cards to get more information. To enable such realistic search strategies, we developed a multiple-view information retrieval system where data visualization, keyword search, and category search are integrated with the same smooth zooming interface, and any vague knowledge about the data can be utilized to narrow the search space. Users can navigate through the information space at will, by modifying the search area in each view.
