Instead of scrolling long lists or swiping through multiple pages, Lens Launcher implements two unique features:

• A Graphical Fisheye Lens to quickly zoom, pan and launch apps using touch gestures.
The Graphical Fisheye Lens algorithm is derived from methods proposed by Manojit Sarkar and Marc H. Brown. Their original 1993 paper is titled Graphical Fisheye Views.
