Focus+Context Display of the Visualization Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of the visualization process is to extract insight from information via visual representations. However, the visualization process itself is information and can be in turn visualized. This work describes a method for visualizing the visualization process using a new focus+context radial graph algorithm. Four different metrics for extracting information from the visualization are examined. Using an example from a network visualization system, the effectiveness of the visualization and metrics are demonstrated. Using the methods discussed here, a better understanding of a particular visualization process—and its corresponding results—is facilitated.

Improving focus and context awareness in interactive visualization of time lines
This paper presents an analysis and empirical evaluation of techniques developed to support focus and context awareness in tasks involving visualization of time lines. It focuses on time lines that display discrete events and their temporal relationships. The most common form of representation for such time lines is the Gantt chart. Although ubiquitous in event visualization and project plannin...
متن کاملBeyond Ambient Display: A Contextual Taxonomy of Alternative Information Display
With the recent emergence of a wide range of information displays that reach beyond the traditional graphics-based computer screen, it seems that the original definition of ambient display, and its focus on user attention and aesthetics, has become diluted. Instead, we propose a taxonomy of alternative information displays that is mainly based on context, in terms of the data it represents and ...
متن کاملA Markerless Augmented Reality Environment for On-Patient Medical Data Visualization
On-patient medical data visualization is desirable in several situations such as surgical planning and training. Currently, it becomes possible with the augmented reality, a technology which enables the visualization of the patient’s virtual anatomy at the location of the real one in a conventional display. In this work, we present a markerless augmented reality environment for on-patient medic...
