flipping, sliding,
panning, or skipping.
o Using a data entry box where a page number can be typed in.
One of the main objectives of LureSurf is to minimize scrolling, which increases
usability and enhances user experience. Hence, LureSurf attempts to fit as much
content as possible on the screen. Using its unique technology of Intelligent
Pagination, LureSurf divides content in logical, and not physical, pages. For instance,
a section that takes 5 pages on a small screen may take only 3 pages on a big one.
In order to avoid being intrusive by cluttering the webpage, the Navigation Toolbar
which includes all the navigation controls, appears only when a user hovers his/her
cursor over the “More” button or over a sensitive area at the very bottom of the
content. However, in Settings, you can choose one of the following options for the
Navigation Toolbar:
Hidden – becomes visible upon hovering over the “More” button or the
sensitive area. This is the system default option.
Displayed – remains visible at all times.
LureSurf is still under development. However, we can deliver some of its basic
functions as part of our deliverables of our services to our customers.
The current version of LureSurf is based on Adobe Flex. However, we plan to release
a Silverlight version. No release dates are available for either version.
