Through a user study we compare the performance of this interface to the performance of a common scrollable 2D list of thumbnails in a grid arrangement. Our evaluation shows that the 3D Cylinder interface enables significantly faster visual search and is the preferred search interface for the majority of tested users.}, language = {EN}, location = {Dublin, Ireland}, talkdate = {2012.05.23}, talktype = {registered} }
