TLDR
Jazz, a general-purpose 2D scene graph toolkit that runs on all platforms that support Java 2.0, is described and the lessons learned using Jazz for ZUIs are described.Abstract:
: In this paper the authors investigate the use of scene graphs as a general approach for implementing two-dimensional (2D) graphical applications, and in particular Zoomable User Interfaces (ZUIs) Scene graphs are typically found in three-dimensional (3D) graphics packages such as Sun's Java3D and SGI's OpenInventor They have not been widely adopted by 2D graphical user interface toolkits To explore the effectiveness of scene graph techniques, the authors have developed Jazz, a general-purpose 2D scene graph toolkit Jazz is implemented in Java using Java2D, and runs on all platforms that support Java 2 This paper describes Jazz and the lessons we learned using Jazz for ZUIs It also discusses how 2D scene graphs can be applied to other application areas (5 figures, 27 refs)read more

TL;DR: A new method for use in the process of co-designing technologies with users called technology probes, which are simple, flexible, adaptable technologies with three interdisciplinary goals: the social science goal of understanding the needs and desires of users in a real-world setting, the engineering goal of field-testing the technology, and the design goal of inspiring users and researchers to think about new technologies.
