Metáfora de Zoom en el One Laptop Per Child

El proyecto OLPC está desarrollando una interfaz con una metáfora no basada en el escritorio, sino en la red social de usuarios. Utiliza un ZUI basado en Zoom semántico para representar las actividades de los participantes.

Zoom Metaphor

Four distinct zoom levels define the laptop: Neighborhood, Groups, Home, and Activity

The mesh network is a permanent fixture of the laptop environment
and is represented explicitly in the interface. A zoom is used to
relate four discrete views, each of which caters to a particular set of
goals: Home, Groups, Neighborhood, and Activity. Using keyboard
shortcuts or controls in the Frame, children may zoom in and out on the mesh community.
