Free-Space Transparency: Exposing Hidden Content Through Unimportant Screen Space
Edward W. Ishak, Steven Feiner · 2003
We present free-space transparency, a method that renders unimportant regions of a window as transparent. This allows users to view screen content that lies beneath these regions. By maximizing the amount of simultaneously visible content, while keeping window sizes and locations constant, users can be made more productive with minimal window layout manipulation.
