👉 Scroll computing is a novel approach to data processing and visualization that leverages the physical scroll as both storage medium and interface for interaction. In this paradigm, data is stored in a continuous, scroll-like format on a physical surface, often using optical or magnetic recording techniques. Users interact with the data by physically moving the scroll across the surface, using a stylus or similar input device to navigate and manipulate the data. This method allows for an intuitive, direct, and immersive way to explore large datasets, as users can zoom in and out, pan across the data, and perform complex operations like sorting and filtering through physical gestures. Scroll computing bridges the gap between traditional digital interfaces and more tactile, human-centric methods of data interaction, making it particularly useful for applications requiring high levels of data exploration and analysis.
