During the research sprint, one major finding is: "Previews of individual tabs are helpful when switching between them." The horizontal tab strip provides an efficient way of switching in between tabs, adding a tab, and deleting a tab. However, is there anything we could do to visually display tabs in context? I did two animation experiments: 1. Individual peek: http://cl.ly/image/3H26241W271n 2. Thumbnails on top: http://cl.ly/image/0S0l2G190P23 Feedback from Deb: "The second approach can help me identify tabs faster since they are shown in thumbnails all at once." I think it would be helpful to start off building prototypes, trying them out and iterating on the ideas. Next step: * Prototyping * Refinement(Visual+ IxD) * Implementation
