Figure 4.2 Repetition Loops3

In rich-prospect browsing terms, the words are the representations, and the choice of repeated words or phrases chosen by the user are the means of manipulating the display. Rather than the affordance of grouping items, as shown in the Biodiversity Browser or the Mandala Browser, the visual organisation of the Repetition Loops is the combination of loops and spine.

Taking their inspiration from the Repetition Loops, two designs by Carlos Fiorentino employ still different approaches to meaningful representation. In this case, the interfaces visualise where search terms appear in multiple documents. In Bubblelines (Figure 4.3), the complete document is represented by a horizontal line – albeit a line that is significantly shorter than the lines used in Repetition Loops. Setting the horizontal lines in Bubblelines one above another does not provide any information about the absolute length of the documents, but it does show us their relative lengths in comparison with each other.
