Abstract. With the evolution of mobile technology, many devices are introduced with very limited screen sizes like smart glasses. This technology must be accompanied with new visualization techniques. A classic interface can't meet the expectations of the user who becomes increasingly hard to please. The challenge is to display information and allow the user a better navigation with less effort especially in situation of mobility. This paper explores a fisheye view on tiled user interfaces for smart glasses that uses the semantic relationships of items of information contained in the tiles. We propose a reformulation of the degree of interest function and a semantic model for tiled interfaces that supports this reformulation. We developed a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and to improve our design approach in our future work.
