FluidDocuments

A new technique for annotation, called Fluid Documents, uses lightweight interactive animation to incorporate annotations in their context. This approach initially uses the space on a page for primary information, indicating the presence of supporting material with small visual cues. When a user expresses interest in a cue, its annotation gradually expands nearby. Meanwhile, the surrounding information alters its typography and/or layout to create the needed visual space.

TreeDoc is an implementation of some of the ideas from the FluidDocuments project.
