Human–computer interaction

Sliding content past a viewport

In human–computer interaction, scrolling is the operation of moving a document or list through a fixed viewport so that off-screen content comes into view, the content sliding past a window too small to show it all at once. Ken Hinckley and colleagues' Quantitative analysis of scrolling techniques compared how methods such as the scroll wheel, rate control, and dragging perform for navigating long content. The referent is an interaction technique for traversing content larger than the display, measured by navigation time and accuracy, and it borrows its name from the unrolling of a scroll while denoting something entirely different.[1]

Unit
The displacement of content through a fixed viewport
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Evaluated by navigation time, error rate, and effort across competing scrolling techniques
