“…For users to understand and interpret complex images, higher-level cognitive processes are usually needed. A number of authors have enumerated design strategies and parameters for representing signifiers in graphics (Bertin, 1981;Tufte, 1990) and there are effects from both the kind of data and the kind of task (Schneiderman, 1996). Thus we expect that we may have to identify IRVE design heuristics according to data type, display type, and task context.…”

Abstract:Information-Rich Virtual Environments (IRVEs) have been described as environments in which perceptual information is enhanced with abstract (or symbolic) information such as text, numbers, images, audio, video, or hyperlinked resources. Desktop VE applications present the same information design and layout challenges as immersive VEs, but in addition, they may also be integrated with external windows or frames commonly used in desktop interfaces. This paper enumerates design approaches for the display of enhancing information both internal and external to the virtual world's render volume.Using standard web-based software frameworks, we explore a number of implicit and explicit spatial layout methods for the display and linking of abstract information, especially text. Within the virtual environment view, we demonstrate both Heads-UpDisplays and encapsulated scenegraph behaviors we call Semantic Objects. For desktop displays, which support information display venues external to the scene, we demonstrate the linking and integration of the scene with web browsers and the Snap-Together visualization a system. Finally, we describe the application of these techniques in the PathSim Visualizer, an IRVE interface for the biomedical domain. These design techniques are relevant for instructional and informative interfaces for a wide variety of desktop VE applications.

“…In the setting of information visualization, many techniques for graphically displaying temporal data have been considered [Ber81,Tuf84]. Contrarily to our work which aims at designing a technique for browsing any kind of temporal data, these techniques are specifically oriented towards quantitative time series (i.e.…”

Objects and Databases

Visual object database browsers are essentially based on two kinds of interactions: navigation within a collection of objects, and navigation between objects via their relationships. These two interactional operators have proven to adequately support the main user task addressed by these tools, i.e. exploring the states of a set of related objects. In temporal object databases, visual browsing tools should additionally support users tasks such as studying a snapshot of a collection of objects at a given instant, or detecting and examining changes within object states. In this paper, we show that the two interactional operators supported by classical object browsers do not adequately address these tasks. We consequently propose an interactional operator dedicated to navigation through time, and we study how it can be orthogonally integrated with the above two.

“…Firstly, text itself is a visual encoding, and it does not provide much to vary. In the spirit of Bertin [1], we can vary the size, color, orientation, style, and typeface of text, but this usually hinders the readability and spoils the reading experience. Secondly, text is not just a sequence of characters that always has the same meaning -a fragment of text detached from context may carry a completely different meaning, or might even be open to several interpretations.…”

Abstract-Digitalization is changing how research is carried out in all areas of science. Humanities is no exceptionmaterials that used to be hand-written or printed on paper are increasingly available in digital form. This development is changing how scholars are interacting with their material.We are addressing the problem of interactive text visualization in the context of sociolinguistic language study. When a scholar is reading and analyzing text from a computer screen instead of a paper, we can support this by providing a dashboard for reading, and by creating visualizations of the text structure, variation, and change.We have designed and developed a software tool called Text Variation Explorer (TVE) for sociolinguistic language study. It is based on interactive visualization with a direct manipulation user interface, and aimed for exploratory corpus linguistics.The TVE software tool has proven to be useful in supporting the study of language variation and change in its social contexts, or sociolinguistics. It is, to a certain degree, languageindependent, and generic enough to be useful in other linguistic contexts as well.We are now in the process of designing and implementing the next iteration of TVE. We present the lessons learned from the first version, discuss the old and the new design, and welcome feedback from the communities involved.
