Abstract: This paper discusses our use of Visage to create a coordinated suite of basic tools and specialized information appliances. First, we present a scenario illustrating the styles of user interaction in Visage. Subsequent sections discuss an overview of the information-centric approach underlying the design of the Visage environment; the basic components of Visage; and the rationale for providing primitive operations, power tools, and appliance-like interfaces within the same environment and some examples of these in Visage.
