“…We have specifically analyzed usability problems connected to interaction techniques. As Lam [17] points out, less than a third of a large number of InfoVis papers she surveyed mentioned interaction explicitly. In doing so, we hope to contribute further to the development of a science of interaction [21].…”

Abstract. Medical care, particularly for chronic diseases, accumulates a huge amount of patient data over extensive time periods that needs to be accessed and analyzed accordingly. Information Visualization methods hold great promises in turning data deluge into improved quality of medical care. Yet, patient data management systems mostly provide documents, form-based displays, or static visualizations. We present a design study of an interactive visualization system, called VisuExplore, to support long-term care and medical analysis of patients with chronic diseases. VisuExplore offers interaction techniques for effective exploration of time-oriented data and employs simple, but intuitive visualization techniques. It was developed in close cooperation with physicians. We conducted two user studies with nine physicians and 16 students, which indicate that our design is useful and appropriate for particular tasks.

“…Based on Lam's seven costs [20], we found that both interface tools do not commonly share the three costs such as physical motion cost to execute sequences, visual-cluttering cost to perceive state, and view-change cost to interpret perception. The physical-motion cost is the cost to form physical sequences.…”

Abstract-Although menu systems are commonly adopted as supporting tools in visualization systems, understanding the effectiveness of supporting tools to perform visual analysis is not broadly studied. In this paper, we performed a study to see the effectiveness of implicit and explicit interface toolsinteractive iconic tool (Interactive-Icon) and floating text-based tool (Floating-Menu), respectively. The floating text-based tool is similar to traditional menu systems. The interactive iconic tool is designed as a direct manipulation tool for implicitly selecting objects. To evaluate the use and human performance of both tools, a highly interactive visual anlaytics system is used. With this system, a task-oriented user study is performed. In this study, participants were asked to solve six task questions, three with each tool. All participants' task performances were tracked including accuracy, speed, behaviors and post-task qualitative feedback. From the study, we identified that there is a familiarity effect on the performance of solving the task questions with implicit and explicit interface tools.

“…ConVis supports multi-faceted exploration of conversations through a set of lightweight interactions (Lam, 2008) that can be easily triggered without causing drastic modifications to the visual encoding. The user can explore interesting topics/ authors by hovering the mouse on them, which highlights the connecting curved links and related comments in the Thread Overview (see Figure 1).…”

Exploring an online conversation can be very difficult for a user, especially when it becomes a long complex thread. We follow a human-centered design approach to tightly integrate text mining methods with interactive visualization techniques to support the users in fulfilling their information needs. The resulting visual text analytic system provides multifaceted exploration of asynchronous conversations. We discuss a number of open challenges and possible directions for further improvement including the integration of interactive human feedback in the text mining loop, applying more advanced text analysis methods with visualization techniques, and evaluating the system with real users.
