Formative Evaluation of a Focus + Context Visualisation Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a formative evaluation of a prototype image browser based on flip zooming, a focus+context visualisation technique. The technique was contrasted with two other methods to view images on the Web. The evaluation showed that users appreciated the overview that the flip zooming prototype provided, although some found the display confusing.

Formative Evaluation of Flip Zooming: Towards Effective Integration of Detail and Context on Small Displays
We have developed and evaluated a prototype image browser based on flip zooming, a focus+context visualization technique. In a formative evaluation, we contrasted the technique with two other methods to present images. The evaluation showed that users appreciated the overview that the flip zooming prototype provided. However, we also learned that the current prototype lacked some important feat...

متن کاملDolphin: the Design and Initial Evaluation of Multimodal Focus and Context
In this paper we describe a new focus and context visualisation technique called multimodal focus and context. This technique uses a hybrid visual and spatialised audio display space to overcome the limited visual displays of mobile devices. We demonstrate this technique by applying it to maps of theme parks. We present the results of an experiment comparing multimodal focus and context to a pu...
متن کاملEvaluation Comes in Many Guises
As the information visualisation (infovis) community matures, the evaluation of information visualisation techniques is becoming more of a requirement and less of an optional extra. Unfortunately, the term evaluation means different things to different people. Simply encouraging “evaluation” is too general and imprecise. There is a need for clarification as to what kind of evaluation is expecte...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of Semantic Depth of Field, a Preattentive Method for Focus+Context Visualization
We introduce the Semantic Depth of Field (SDOF) technique, which is an alternative focus+context method for information visualisation. SDOF blurs objects which are currently out of focus, i.e., not interesting for the user. In the experimental study described in this paper, we found that SDOF supports the preattentive perception of sharp targets and the numerical estimation of the amount of dat...
