To explore the use of semantic zoom and mini-maps to enhance software city navigation and visualization.
Developed interactive prototypes incorporating semantic zoom and mini-map features.
Evaluated user interaction and navigation efficiency during practical tasks.
Analyzed user feedback to refine design features.
Participants reported improved navigation speed with the mini-map feature.
Semantic zoom allowed for better focus on relevant data without losing context.
User interaction with software cities became more intuitive and engaging.
