  • Stack Zooming for Multi-Focus Interaction in Time-Series Data Visualization
    Stack Zooming for Multi-Focus Interaction in Time-Series Data Visualization Waqas Javed∗ Niklas Elmqvist† Purdue University ABSTRACT Information visualization shows tremendous potential for helping both expert and casual users alike make sense of temporal data, but current time series visualization tools provide poor support for com- paring several foci in a temporal dataset while retaining context and distance awareness. We introduce a method for supporting this kind of multi-focus interaction that we call stack zooming. The approach is based on the user interactively building hierarchies of 1D strips stacked on top of each other, where each subsequent stack repre- sents a higher zoom level, and sibling strips represent branches in the visual exploration. Correlation graphics show the relation be- tween stacks and strips of different levels, providing context and Figure 1: The stack zooming technique for line graphs.

The zoom hierarchies has focused on a period of radical changes in the main timeline (top). can also be used as graphical histories and for communicating in- sights to stakeholders.

  • 3D Reconstructions As Research Hubs: Geospatial Interfaces for Real-Time Data Exploration of Seventeenth-Century Amsterdam Domestic Interiors
    Open Archaeology 2021; 7: 314–336 Research Article Hugo Huurdeman*, Chiara Piccoli 3D Reconstructions as Research Hubs: Geospatial Interfaces for Real-Time Data Exploration of Seventeenth-Century Amsterdam Domestic Interiors https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2020-0142 received December 7, 2020; accepted April 23, 2021 Abstract: This paper presents our ongoing work in the Virtual Interiors project, which aims to develop 3D reconstructions as geospatial interfaces to structure and explore historical data of seventeenth-century Amsterdam. We take the reconstruction of the entrance hall of the house of the patrician Pieter de Graeff (1638–1707) as our case study and use it to illustrate the iterative process of knowledge creation, sharing, and discovery that unfolds while creating, exploring and experiencing the 3D models in a prototype research environment. During this work, an interdisciplinary dataset was collected, various metadata and paradata were created to document both the sources and the reasoning process, and rich contextual links were added. These data were used as the basis for creating a user interface for an online research environment, taking design principles and previous user studies into account. Knowledge is shared by visualizing the 3D reconstructions along with the related complexities and uncertainties, while the integra- tion of various underlying data and Linked Data makes it possible to discover contextual knowledge by exploring associated resources. Moreover, we outline how users of the research environment can add annotations and rearrange objects in the scene, facilitating further knowledge discovery and creation. Keywords: virtual reconstructions, digital humanities, interface design, human–computer interaction, domestic architecture 1 Introduction In this paper, we explore the use of 3D reconstructions¹ as heuristic tools in the research process.

  • A Comparison of Pan and Zoom and Rubber Sheet Navigation
    A Comparison of Pan and Zoom and Rubber Sheet Navigation by Dmitry Nekrasovski B.C.S., Carleton University, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Science in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Computer Science) The University Of British Columbia January 2006 c Dmitry Nekrasovski 2006 ii Abstract As information visualization tools are used to visualize datasets of increasing size, there is a growing need for techniques that facilitate efficient navigation. Pan and zoom navigation enables users to display areas of interest at different resolutions. Focus+context techniques aim to overcome the drawbacks of pan and zoom by dynamically integrating areas of interest and context regions. To date, empirical comparisons of these two navigation paradigms have been limited in scope and inconclusive. In two controlled studies, we evaluated navigation techniques representa- tive of the pan and zoom and focus+context approaches. The particular fo- cus+context technique examined was rubber sheet navigation, implemented in a way that afforded a set of navigation actions similar to pan and zoom navi- gation. The two techniques were used by 40 subjects in each study to perform a navigation-intensive task in a large tree dataset. Study 1 investigated the effect of the amount of screen real estate devoted to context regions for each navigation technique. Performance with both techniques was not significantly affected by this factor, but was influenced by technique-specific strategies de- veloped by subjects. Study 2 compared the performance of the two techniques. Pan and zoom navigation was found to be faster than rubber sheet navigation and was rated by subjects as easier and less mentally demanding.
