Fluid Documents are a web presentation technique developed by Xerox Parc that use lightweight interactive animation to incorporate annotations in a web page. The approach uses small visual cues to indicate the presence of supporting material for the primary page content. When a user expresses interest in a cue, the annotation gradually expands nearby, while the typography and/or layout of surrounding information is altered to create the necessary visual space for the annotation. Tests have shown that users can process moving text even in a serious reading situation, provided that the additional information appears close to the anchor. The basics of Fluid Documents are described in this paper (PDF), and the technique has been implemented in a development project called TreeDoc (see screenshots).
