Studying color blending for visualizing social artifacts

چکیده
Given the tools and applications that are available today, we often communicate at any time and place, generating high volumes of social personal information. Visually representing such data may enable us to navigate and manage it in an effective manner. Color, due to its effectiveness in labeling and categorizing information, may highlight relevant data and further alleviate cognitive load associated with information interpretation. We have studied the use of color blending for representing social artifacts. In this paper we present a user study which we have performed to understand which colors are associated with different social artifacts. It has allowed us to understand which colors humans associate with contacts and conversation topics regarding either send and received messages, as well as volume and variety. Results have enabled us to derive a set of design implications on how to use color blending to represent social facets when visualizing social personal information.

Studying Color Blending Perception for Data Visualization
Visualization is a powerful way to convey data, showing a great potential for joining and interrelating different data items. Nevertheless, when dealing with large amounts of data, visually merging different classes of information poses several challenges. Color, however, due to its effectiveness for labeling and categorizing information, may be a solution to this shortcoming. Merging items wit...
متن کاملPaint Inspired Color Compositing
Color is often used to convey information, and color compositing is often required while visualizing multi-attribute information. This paper proposes an alternative method for color compositing. In order to present understandable color blending to the general public, several techniques are proposed. First, a paint-inspired RYB color space is used. In addition, noise patterns are employed to pro...
متن کاملA Relative Study on Image Blending
Image blending is a process of creating a set of discrete samples of a continuous, one-parameter family of images that links a pair of input images. Image blending has uses in a variety of computer graphics, cartoons and image processing applications. Image blending is to paste a source patch onto a objective image, which has received considerable attention. While gradient-domain blending is do...
متن کاملVisualizing Dimensionality Reduction Artifacts: An Evaluation
Multidimensional scaling allows visualizing high-dimensional data as 2D maps with the premise that insights in 2D reveal valid information in high-dimensions, but the resulting projections always suffer from artifacts such as false neighborhoods and tears. These artifacts can be revealed by interactively coloring the projection according to the original dissimilarities relative to a reference i...
متن کاملSoft Edges and Burning Things: Enhanced Real-Time Rendering of Particle Systems
This paper describes two methods that can be used to enhance the looks of particle systems. These methods fit applications that use modern graphics hardware for rendering. The first method removes clipping artifacts. These artifacts often appear when a fuzzy particle texture intersects solid geometry, resulting in a visible, undesireable edge in the rendered graphics. This problem can be overco...
