Browsing Pornography: An Interface Design Perspective

At the recent CHI2006 conference, Anand Agarawala, Anthony Tang and Saul Greenberg submitted the paper Browsing Pornography: An Interface Design Perspective (pdf). It has value for designers of adult content, whether just a web experience or a fully functional game.

Abstract: As an extreme case of browsing, the pornographic browsing experience has several unique UI characteristics: it requires simple, lightweight controls; usage needs to be discrete; users’ mental and physical context need to be respected, and common, repeated interactions need to be supported. While we identify design goals for user interfaces to better support browsing of pornographic images and movies, the same goals are applicable to other non-controversial browsing activities.
