Containers: a new hierarchical model for browser interfaces

The development of a low bandwidth, high error tolerant neural browser, called the BrainBrowser, has raised new navigational issues. With this paradigm shift of twodimensional spatial organization and navigation, one possible solution is to serialize the interface. Due to the inherent complexity of this paradigm, new methods of hierarchical spatial organization can help to relieve the sense of a labyrinthine structural organization that a user must overcome when using this method of browser navigation. This issue has created the opportunity to explore the possibility of incorporating "containers" as an additional navigational capability that will allow the resulting serial interface to be organized hierarchically. This ultimately will increase the user's navigational "sense of place" as well as minimizing the user's cognitive burden.
