“…The ColorBrewer [7,22] and Colororacle [23], both based on algorithms like those described in Brettel et al [24] are examples of applications dedicated to maps. One major problem with simulations is that they operate more like a guideline for a designer with normal color vision.…”

“…For example, SmartMoney Map of the Market provides two choices of color: red/green and blue/yellow. ColorBrewer [18]and VisCheck [19] offer guidelines on color schemes that work for those with color vision impairment. Help to get novice users started may be needed, and multi-layer interfaces [20] may assist users find the level of complexity which is right for them.…”

As the field of information visualization matures, the tools and ideas described in our research publications are reaching users. The reports of usability studies and controlled experiments are helpful to understand the potential and limitations of our tools, but we need to consider other evaluation approaches that take into account the long exploratory nature of users tasks, the value of potential discoveries or the benefits of overall awareness. We need better metrics and benchmark repositories to compare tools, and we should also seek reports of successful adoption and demonstrated utility.

FoamVis, A Visualization System for Foam Research: Design and Implementation

Liquid foams are used in areas such as mineral separation, oil recovery, food and beverage production, sanitation and fire fighting. To improve the quality of products and the efficiency of processes in these areas, foam scientists wish to understand and control foam behaviour. To this end, foam scientists have used foam simulations to model foam behaviour; however, analysing these simulations presents difficult challenges. We describe the main foam research challenges and present the design of FoamVis, the only existing visualization, exploration and analysis application created to address them. We describe FoamVis' main features, together with relevant design and implementation notes. Our goal is to provide a global overview and individual feature implementation details that would allow a visualization scientist to extend the FoamVis system with new algorithms and adapt it to new requirements. The result is a detailed presentation of the software that is not provided in previous visualization research papers.
