Summary: Desktop users frequently open and switch between multiple windows. Here we
present an experiment comparing 3 window switching interfaces: the Cards
interface spreads windows out like a vertical stack of cards with the most
recent window at the front; the Mosaic interface places each window in a grid
ordered by recency; and, the Exposé interface provides an map-like
overview based on the relative size and position of windows. Experimental
results suggest that the Mosaic interface scales, enabling faster window
selection than the Cards interface and less erroneous window selection than the
Exposé interface.
