I love ZUIs and would love to see a talk on one. When I was in school
I wrote and ran an experiment to test reaction times for navigation
tasks with different zoom-panning implementations in pad++ (which was
in tcl/tk at the time, and is how I first ran into tcl/tk) and I've
looked in on the HCILs website over the years to see what they were up
to with it. Last I checked they'd migrated to java and the project was
called piccolo.
