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
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.

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.
The Neighborhood view (or Mesh view): All children visible on the mesh network can be seen clustered around shared activities; Away messages are also accessible from this view.The Home view: Each child chooses a dual-tone color scheme for her XO character that is used throughout the interface. Activity icons are color-coded by the child who launched the activity.The Groups view: Members of the currently selected group and their current activities are visible from this view. Hovering over a “missing” XO reveals an "away message."
