Predictive targeted movement in electronic spaces

The lodestones and leylines interaction technique simplifies navigation in electronic spaces by coordinating physical and conceptual movementgently constraining motion to follow automatically computed paths to predicted destinations. This approach simplifies physical movement, ensures that movement leads to interesting locations and supports navigation to locations not visible from the current location. It is illustrated in a spatial multiscale environment where pilot data show reliable performance improvements.
