Predictive Dynamic User Interfaces for Interactive Visual Search

This paper proposes a method for designing user interfaces based on ideas rooted in data communication theory. It suggests that a visual user interface should be treated as a multitransmitter, single-receiver communication system, where the total available bandwidth for transmission is limited. The proposed design entails the scaling of visual components that are displayed according to their degree of relevance to the user, or in other words, their probability of selection by the user
