Apart from maybe doing some research on the subject and giving credit to the people who deserve it before showing off, the “author” e. g. could address some of the problems with nonlinear magnification, i. e. the distortion at the edges of the focus area. Disappointing. [1] I did a concept design employing, amongst other things, nonlinear contextual magnification back in college several years ago – and even then the idea was not exactly new.
