User perception of 4 hierarchical layouts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information visualization offers an opportunity to provide quick overviews and support exploration of the information landscape. However, there are many visualization techniques and layouts to choose from and some designs work better than others. The poster presents four hierarchical layouts developed in our FrbrVis prototype to display bibliographic work families and looks at user’s perceptions of the layouts gathered through a usability study. The results of reaction cards and interviews show that the radial layout was perceived least favorably while sunburst received the highest number of positive comments.

A User Study of Techniques for Visualizing Structure and Connectivity in Hierarchical Datasets
Many tree layouts have been created for presenting hierarchical data. However, layouts optimized for some tasks are not adequate for others. In this paper, we focus on identifying tree structures and cross-links generated by hierarchical edge bundling. Our key contribution is the introduction of descriptive features that can be used to characterize trees in terms of their structural and connect...
متن کاملReconfigurable Disc Trees for Visualizing Large Hierarchical Information Space
We present a new visualization technique, called (Reconfigurable Disc Tree) which can alleviate the disadvantages of cone trees significantly for large hierarchies while maintaining its context of using 3D depth. In , each node is associated with a disc around which its children are placed. Using discs instead of cones as the basic shape in has several advantages: significant reduction of occlu...
متن کاملOn the effective visualisation of dynamic attribute cascades
Cascades appear in many applications, including biological graphs and social media analysis. In a cascade, a dynamic attribute propagates through a graph, following its edges. We present the results of a formal user study that tests the effectiveness of different types of cascade visualisations on node-link diagrams for the task of judging cascade spread. Overall, we found that a small multiple...
متن کاملRunning Head: Cognitive strategies for hierarchical visual search Cognitive strategies for the visual search of hierarchical computer displays
This article investigates the cognitive strategies that people use to search computer displays. Several different visual layouts are examined: unlabeled layouts that contain multiple groups of items but no group headings; labeled layouts in which items are grouped and each group has a useful heading; and a target-only layout that contains just one item. A number of plausible strategies were pro...
متن کاملThe Influence of Local Density and Link Color on Visual Search
Visual search in an important part of human-computer interaction (HCI) research ( Byrne, 1993; Czerwinski, Tan, & Robertson, 2002; Jacob & Karn, 2003). It is through visual search that most people locate the content and controls for many computer tasks. Yet, it is not well understood how visual search is applied with the use of computers for a great many visual tasks. HCI needs a good, unified ...
