	abstract = {The widespread use of information visualization is hampered bythe lack of effective labeling techniques. An informal taxonomy of
labeling methods is proposed. We then describe excentric labeling,
a new dynamic technique to label a neighborhood of objects located
around the cursor. This technique does not intrude into the
existing interaction, it is not computationally intensive, and was
easily applied to several visualization applications. A pilot study
with eight subjects indicates a strong speed benefit over a zoom
interface for tasks that involve the exploration of large numbers
of objects. Observations and comments from users are presented.
