“…In the context of visual analytics, animated transition techniques have been adopted to keep users oriented during changes and manipulations of complex datasets, such as dynamic networks [BPF14], streaming data [HVF13], multidimensional data [EDF08], and document histories [CDBF10]. To improve the tracking of moving objects, researchers have explored animation strategies such as staging [CRP∗20], trajectory bundling [DCZL15], and temporal distortion [DBJ∗11]. Described as visually pleasing and engaging, animation is also an effective method of vividly telling stories to improve understandability and enhance user experience [HR07, ARL∗15].…”

By displaying visual elements logically in temporal order, animated infographics can help readers better understand layers of information expressed in an infographic. While many techniques and tools target the quick generation of static infographics, few support animation designs. We propose InfoMotion that automatically generates animated presentations of static infographics. We first conduct a survey to explore the design space of animated infographics. Based on this survey, InfoMotion extracts graphical properties of an infographic to analyze the underlying information structures; then, animation effects are applied to the visual elements in the infographic in temporal order to present the infographic. The generated animations can be used in data videos or presentations. We demonstrate the utility of InfoMotion with two example applications, including mixed‐initiative animation authoring and animation recommendation. To further understand the quality of the generated animations, we conduct a user study to gather subjective feedback on the animations generated by InfoMotion.

“…Although prior research has either derived design guidelines and principles through user studies [10,12,15,44] or designed and developed animation effects to support transitions between specific visualizations in an ad-hoc manner [4,17,23,28,46], there are few automated approaches for formulating the design process of animated transitions to convey data relations between general statistical charts. Recent work for specifying data graphics animations with high-level declarative languages [21,29] provides a simpler grammar than D3 [8] and gganimate [36] for the user.…”

Animated transitions help viewers understand changes between related visualizations. To clearly present the underlying relations between statistical charts, animation authors need to have a high level of expertise and a considerable amount of time to describe the relations with reasonable animation stages. We present AniVis, an automated approach for generating animated transitions to demonstrate the changes between two statistical charts. AniVis models each statistical chart on the basis of a tree-based structure.Given an input chart pair, the differences of data and visual properties of the chart pair are formalized as atomic transition units.Through this approach, the animated transition between two charts is expressed as a series of transition units. Then, we conduct a preliminary study to understand people's preferences for animation sequences. Based on the study, we propose a set of principles and a sequence composition algorithm to compose the transition units into a meaningful animation sequence. Finally, we synthesize these units together to deliver a smooth and intuitive animated transition between charts. To evaluate our workflow, we implement a web-based system and demonstrate its generated results to illustrate the usage of our approach. We perform a comparative study with the latest method to assess the animated transitions automatically generated by our system. We further collect feedback from experts to evaluate the usability of our method.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Visualization systems and tools;

“…In the field of Graphical User Interface, a large amount of research has focused on the information display coding of text, icons, meters, etc. [12][13][14][15][16][17], and few design guidelines have been proposed on the way how forms should be designed, especially in terms of human visual search characteristics.…”

To explore the design pattern and guidelines for the forms displayed on the interfaces, we studied the factors of form design from the perspective of ergonomics. These factors include orientation (horizontal, vertical), color grouping and color combination. In combination with the analysis and conclusion of the experimental data, we proposed some design guidelines for human-computer interface that has many forms, such as weapon command and control system. A visual searching program was designed to simulate the display interface. Reaction time and accuracy are recorded by orthogonal experiment. Analyses such as double factor variance analysis, simple main effect are conducted on the experimental data. The following conclusions are obtained: two-color form has a faster reaction time than single color form; reaction time of the horizontal form is shorter than the vertical form. Color combination has significant influence on accuracy, and the blue-green is suiTable for form design; color grouping has significant influence on reaction time and accuracy; the interaction of color grouping and color combination shows significant differences. When designing forms in display interface, we should choose the horizontal layout with sparse coloring density as much as possible, and the effect of color combination on the recognition efficiency should be considered.
