Finding Your Way in Chronoland: Visual Metaphors for Orientation of Temporal Data Explorers
نویسندگان
چکیده
With their deeper procedural knowledge, experts are superior to beginners in solving ill-defined problems. To support beginners, we suggest using a method for presenting complex, heterogeneous data that can serve as a good basis for visualizing its inherent information. To demonstrate this approach, we conducted focus group interviews with temporal data analysts to identify their problem solving strategies. To make the results usable as a scaffold for beginners in the domain, we designed a visualization based on a metaphor of the flow of time and water – Chronoland. By providing a landscape-like decision support system, experts and beginners alike are assisted on their path towards a problem’s solution.

متن کاملMarker-Based Interaction Techniques for Camera-Phones
We propose a framework that establishes new user interaction metaphors for camera-phones based on the orientation of the camera relative to a visual marker and based on optically detected phone movements. The approach provides a powerful way to use camera-phones as mediators between the real and the virtual world by defining spatial and temporal mappings between the both. The conceptual framewo...
