Make Interaction Situated: Designing User Acceptable Interaction for Situated Visualization in Public Environments

“…Moreover, Prouzeau et al [95] created an authoring tool for situated visualization and demonstrated the potential of involving users in tailoring visualization experiences. Two recent surveys have comprehensively summarized related works in situated visualization and analytics [78,110]. While a substantial body of research has concentrated on the visual representation and presentation of situated visualization [78], or designing interactions on mobile AR devices [110], less work focuses on interaction design [29,105].…”

“…Two recent surveys have comprehensively summarized related works in situated visualization and analytics [78,110]. While a substantial body of research has concentrated on the visual representation and presentation of situated visualization [78], or designing interactions on mobile AR devices [110], less work focuses on interaction design [29,105]. In addition, existing works mainly leverage the physical context of situated visualization to design interactions, without considering that users may be aware of other people when interacting with situated visualization, especially for public scenarios.…”

“…However, it has also brought about a set of challenges, such as the complexity of designing interactions with more than two degrees of freedom (DoF) or exploiting appropriate multimodal interactions [18,28,34]. AR devices are commonly used as a medium for presenting situated visualization, such as mobile and wearable devices [10,78,110]. Our work draws inspiration from the previous interaction design of visualization presented in wearable AR devices.…”

“…Recent technological advances in augmented reality (AR) have brought data visualization beyond the confines of desktops [77], integrating it into the physical environment to facilitate in-situ data understanding and decision-making, such as for industrial manufacturing or daily shopping [10,29,128]. This results in a promising paradigm of data visualization -situated visualization and analytics -that integrates data with its physical referent or context for the analysis process [30,78,110,114,121], changing the way we perceive and interact with data in a real-world context.…”

“…We employed the contextual inquiry method to closely observe their natural practices, followed by in-depth interviews and in-situ demonstrations to uncover and elicit their needs [45]. Considering the expansive design possibilities in situated visualization, we formulated the requirements based on the 5W1Hs design space [78,110] to gather the common tasks users undertake in the two scenarios, their preferences regarding situated visualization, desired locations for data displays, and the approaches for activating situated visualization in public settings. Based on the findings, for RQ2, we compiled the appropriate input modalities and proposed a design space with the interaction, required situated visualization and tasks for the public daily scenarios.…”
