| Abstract |
| This article identifies, illustrates and offers justification for a guideline intended to support interaction design for navigation in electronic information spaces. The essence of the guideline is the concept of 'sensitivity encoding', a feature of a data display intended to provide guidance regarding potentially beneficial movement in information space. That navigation's objective may be the formation of a mental model, movement towards an objective, or both. Information Visualization (2002) 1, 120-129. doi:10.1057/palgrave.ivs.9500019 |
