In two-dimensional display/control relationships, Warrick’s principle has been found to be an important factor in determining stereotype strengths. This principle has an ‘implied linkage’ that may bias the responses of persons such as engineers who have knowledge of mechanisms and hence produce stereotypes that are not representative of the general population. It is shown that such ‘implied lin...

Even though three-dimensional (3D) displays have been introduced in relatively recent times in the context of display technology, they have undergone a rapid evolution, to the point that a plethora of equipment able to reproduce dynamic three-dimensional scenes in real time is now becoming commonplace in the consumer market. This paper’s main contributions are (1) a clear definition of a 3D dis...

Studies examined infants' perceptions of 3-dimensional form, using a kinetic depth effect (KDE) display and displays containing subsets of the motion present in the KDE display. One subset consisted of "between-contour" motion, and the second consisted of "within-contour" motion. Research with adults has suggested that only between-contour motion leads to a compelling depth percept. In Experime...

Three-dimensional display devices attempt to present the user with a realistic scene. The realism involves the use of depth cues, so as to convince the user of three-dimensionality. Such display devices can be classified into those that require external aids such as glasses, and those that are viewable unaided. The latter are less cumbersome, and allow many viewers of the display. Holography fa...

We discuss some issues of displaying ~wo-dimensional surfaces in four-dimensional (4D) space, including the behavior of surface normals under projedion, the silhouette points due to the projection, and methods Cor object orientation and projection center specification. We have implemented an interactive 4D display system on z-butrer based graphics workstations. Preliminary experiments show that...

The interpretation of large-scale biological data can be aided by the use of appropriate visualization tools. Heatmaps—patternrevealing aggregate views of data—have emerged as a preferred technique for the display of genomics data, since they provide an extra dimension of information in a two-dimensional display. However, an increasing focus on the integration of data from multiple sources has ...
