TL;DR
The motivation for Pad++, a zooming graphical interface that is exploring as an alternative to traditional window and icon-based approaches to interface design, and an informational physics strategy for interface design are discussed.
Abstract
We describe the current status of Pad++, a zooming graphical interface that we are exploring as an alternative to traditional window and icon-based approaches to interface design. We discuss the motivation for Pad++, describe the implementation, and present prototype applications. In addition, we introduce an informational physics strategy for interface design and briefly compare it with metaphor-based design strategies.

ToolglassTM widgets are new user interface tools that can appear, as though on a transparent sheet of glass, between an application and a traditional cursor, and form a see-through interface that offers many advantages over traditional controls.
The information visualizer, an information workspace
697 Citations1991Stuart K. Card, George G. Robertson +1 more
An experimental system, called the Information Visualizer, is described, based on the use of 3D/Rooms for increasing the capacity of immediate storage avaitable to the user, and the Cognitive Co-processor scheduler-based user interface interaction architecture for coupling the user to information agents.
