Using cascade method for table access on small devices

Published: 19 September 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Users increasingly expect access to Web data from a wide range of devices, both wired and wireless. The goal of our research is to inform the design of applications that support data access by providing reasonably seamless migration of Web data among internet-compatible devices with minimal loss of effectiveness and efficiency. This study focuses on the tables of data on small mobile devices. In this paper we report on the results of a user study that compare effectiveness, efficiency and preference of two methods for the display and use of tables on small screens: Column/Row Expansion and Cascade, a cell based expansion method.
