Understanding and designing animations in the user interfaces Rédigée par: Dirigée par: Amira Chalbi Neffati Nicolas Roussel Fanny Chevalier Thèse présentée et soutenue publiquement le 17 avril 2018 pour obtenir le grade de Docteur de l’Université de Lille dans la spécialité Informatique. École Doctorale Sciences pour l’Ingénieur Lille Nord-de-France Composition du jury: Présidente: Sophie Tison (Université de Lille) Rapporteurs: Stéphane Conversy (Université de Toulouse-ENAC) Jason Dykes (City, University of London) Examinateurs: Anastasia Bezerianos (Université Paris-Sud 11) Benjamin Bach (Edinburgh University) ii iii Abstract Despite their increasing popularity and omnipresence in modern graphical interfaces, anima- tions are still largely under-comprehended. While prior research and practice provide useful insights about the merits and downsides of animation, it is still unclear what makes a good and effective animation that improves the usability and expressivity of graphical interfaces. The disparity of opinions about the value of animation is mainly due to the fact that most of previous studies have investigated the benefit of adding a particular animation to a particular interface, leaving a notable gap in the deep understanding of the many design aspects that influence the performance of animation. Prior research have also predominantly assessed the value of animation through a narrow empirical angle, which had left several facets of animation unveiled. This thesis contributes a first constructive step toward better understanding the vast design space of animation and mapping out the various merits of animation that can enrich user interfaces from different perspectives. We first provide a structured view of the roles and drawbacks of animation in user interfaces. We then present the theoretical fundamentals for animation in information visualization. We discuss the main challenges for designing and evaluating animation in dynamic visualizations. Through an empirical study, we investigate the meaning of the Common Fate Law, applied on animation trajectories, in dynamic visual- izations. We then introduce a design space that allows a holistic characterization of staged animation and propose an authoring tool to support the prototyping and exploration of staging in visualizations. v Résumé Malgré leur omniprésence croissante dans les interfaces graphiques modernes, les animations sont encore sous-appréhendées. Bien que la recherche et la pratique fournissent des directives utiles, nous n’avons pas encore une idée claire sur ce qui définit une animation efficace pour les interfaces. La discorde sur la valeur de l’animation est principalement due au fait que la plupart des études précédentes ont étudié l’avantage d’ajouter une animation particulière à une interface particulière, laissant un manque notable dans la compréhension des nombreux aspects qui influencent la performance de l’animation. Ces études ont aussi évalué la valeur de l’animation à travers un angle empirique étroit, ce qui fait que plusieurs facettes de l’animation restent non dévoilées. Cette thèse contribue un premier pas vers une compréhension plus profonde du vaste espace de conception de l’animation, et vers une meilleure assimilation des différents mérites de l’animation. Nous fournissons d’abord une vue structurée sur les rôles et les inconvénients de l’animation dans les interfaces graphiques. Nous présentons ensuite les fondements théoriques de l’animation pour la visualisation d’information. Nous discutons les principaux défis pour la conception et l’évaluation de l’animation dans les visualisations dynamiques. Nous étudions la signification de la Loi du Destin Commun, appliquée aux trajectoires d’animation, dans les visualisations dynamiques. Nous introduisons ensuite un espace de conception qui permet une caractérisation holistique de l’animation séquentielle, et proposons un outil de création pour permettre le prototypage et l’exploration du “staging” dans les visualisations. vii Contents 1 Introduction1 1.1 Thesis statement and goals...........................8 1.2 Research contributions.............................8 2 Roles and drawbacks of animation in user interfaces 10 2.1 The 23 roles of animation in visual interfaces................. 11 2.1.1 Preliminary qualitative exploration................... 12 2.1.2 Taxonomy Methodology........................ 13 2.1.3 Taxonomy of animation roles..................... 14 Keeping in Context........................... 15 Teaching Aid.............................. 20 User Experience............................ 25 Data Encoding............................. 30 Visual Discourse............................ 33 2.1.4 Animation roles and people: summary and discussion........ 36 2.1.5 General discussion........................... 38 Coverage of general roles of animation by our taxonomy....... 38 Combinations of roles and granularity................. 39 What limits the roles of animation?.................. 39 2.2 Animation drawbacks and people........................ 40 2.2.1 Why people do not use animation?................... 40 2.2.2 Examples of ineffective animation as seen by people......... 41 2.2.3 Classification of animation drawbacks as seen by people....... 42 2.3 Conclusion................................... 42 3 Understanding dynamic information visualizations 44 3.1 Information visualization: a simplified model................. 44 3.2 From abstract data to visual representation: visual encoding.......... 45 3.3 Dynamics of an information visualization................... 47 3.3.1 Visualization states mapping...................... 48 3.3.2 Characterizing dynamic changes in information visualization..... 49 3.3.3 A taxonomy of dynamic changes in information visualization.... 51 Levels of dynamic change....................... 51 Data-Driven Change.......................... 52 Visual-Driven Change......................... 53 Variation of types of change based on the scope of change...... 53 3.3.4 Manner of a dynamic change...................... 54 3.4 Conclusion................................... 56 4 Animation for information visualization: fundamentals and challenges 57 4.1 Fundamentals of animation........................... 57 4.1.1 Animation parameters......................... 57 4.1.2 Elementary and composite animation................. 58 4.1.3 Composition based on trajectory.................... 59 4.1.4 Temporal composition......................... 60 4.2 Designing animation for information visualizations.............. 61 viii 4.2.1 Understanding animation parameters................. 61 Understanding animation trajectories................. 61 Understanding the temporal parameters of animation......... 62 4.2.2 Defining animation parameters..................... 63 4.3 Evaluating animation in information visualizations.............. 65 4.3.1 Metrics to measure the value of animation............... 65 4.3.2 Evaluation methodology........................ 67 Studied animation goals........................ 67 Evaluation methodology........................ 68 General user study design considerations............... 68 Independent variables......................... 70 Dependent variables.......................... 70 Tasks.................................. 70 Running a study............................ 71 4.4 People and animation: insights for animation design and evaluation..... 71 4.5 Conclusion................................... 72 5 Reflecting on the meaning of Common Fate in visualization 74 5.1 Background................................... 74 5.1.1 Perception and Gestalt psychology................... 75 5.1.2 Gestalt Laws in visualization...................... 75 5.1.3 Perception in visualization....................... 75 5.2 The Gestalt Law of Common Fate....................... 76 5.2.1 Criteria for perceptual grouping.................... 76 5.2.2 Visual variables with grouping..................... 77 5.3 User study background............................. 78 5.3.1 Task rationale.............................. 78 5.3.2 Summary of tasks............................ 78 5.3.3 Manipulation of visual variables.................... 79 5.3.4 Design decisions............................ 81 5.3.5 Grouping strength........................... 81 5.4 User study.................................... 81 5.4.1 Task generation............................. 82 5.4.2 Attention trials............................. 83 5.4.3 Experimental protocol......................... 83 5.5 Results...................................... 84 5.5.1 Data verification............................ 85 5.5.2 Dynamic vs. static groupings...................... 85 5.5.3 Relations

    The Historian's Toybox

    THE HISTORIAN’S TOYBOX Children’s Toys from the Past you can Make Yourself. EUGENE F. PROVENZO, JR. ASTERIE BAKER PROVENZO Illustrations by Peter A. Zorn, Jr. EUGENE F. PROVENZO, JR., an associate professor in the School of Education and Allied Professions, University of Miami, is a specialist in the history of childhood and the history of education. Not only is he interested in toy design as a historian, but he has also designed award-winning toys. ASTERIE BAKER PROVENZO is currently working on a history of American school architecture at the University of Miami. Her interest in toys is an outgrowth of research she has conducted on the history of childhood and the history of education. PETER A. ZORN, JR., an assistant professor of graphic design at the University of Miami, has wide-ranging experience in the development and design of toys. INTRODUCTION Toys play an important part in the lives of children. They are vehicles for the imagination of children, as well as tools with which to instruct them about the world in which they live. Unfortunately, too many of the toys that are available to children today do not encourage them to discover or invent things for themselves. Historically, this has not always been the case. Many of the toys that were popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries required the imagination and inventiveness of the child. The Historian’s Toy-box: Children’s Toys from the Past You Can Make Yourself is about these toys and how to make them. Children have always made toys for themselves.

    The Plateau Exhibition in Ghent 2001

    The Plateau Exhibition in Ghent 2001 By Ron Holloway Spring 2002 Issue of KINEMA THE PLATEAU EXHIBITION AT THE SCIENCE MUSEUM IN GHENT 2001 Film historians with a tick for the archaeology of the cinema are well advised to pay a visit to the Museum of Science in Ghent to view the exhibition honouring the 200th birthday of Belgian scientist Joseph Plateau. It was Plateau’s experiments on optical deception and the persistence of vision in the middle of the 19th century that led to the invention of the anorthoscope (distorted view) and the phenakistiscope (deceitful view), the direct precursors of the first moving picture inventions. The entire range of related optical inventions the stroboscope (whirling view), the thaumatrope (magical turning), and zoetrope (life turning), to name just the key scientific discoveries that led to cinematography were placed on mechanically driven display atthe opening of the 28th Flanders International Film Festival in Ghent (8-18 October 2001). Visitors to the Flanders festival were also presented with an invaluable catalogue to accompany the exhibition: ”Joseph Plateau, (1801-1883) Living Between Art and Science” (Gent: Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen, 2001) by Maurice Dorikens, with additional essays by David Robinson, Laurent Mannoni, and Giusy Pisno-Basile. Robinson’s contribution on ”Plateau, Faraday and Their Spinning Discs” focuses on the fruitful competition between Joseph Plateau in Belgium and Michael Faraday in England on experiments relating to optical deception. Plateau won that race by a few months to perfect the anorthoscope in 1936, a concession readily made by Faraday upon reading the Belgian scientist’s published papers.
