Traditional InfoVis
“The use of computers to interactively amplify cognition, using visual representations.”
Based on abstract data and large datasets Computer based Produces a visualization Is readable and recognizable Interactively amplifies cognition
Card, et.al. (1999)
Pousman
Casual InfoVis as a complement to traditional InfoVis Centrality Gradience w.r.t. InfoVis
Ambient (informative, peripheral), social (ego-centric, data-centric), artistic (data driven, open to interpretation)
Def casual: user population, usage patterns, data type, insight
(analytic, awareness, social, reflective), design: utilitarian vs useful
How to evaluate them, how to use elements InfoVis ? insight based, systems components, usability, longitudinal
analysis, experience sampling
Vande Moere
Tension / Continuum between traditional and artistic InfoVis.
The main difference is the data mapping approach and choice of metaphor;
1. Data Visualization (What, How, Why)
2. Visualization Design (Highlights)
3. Ambient Display / Informative Art (Non-intrusive informing)
4. Visualization Experience (Conceptual exploration)
5. Visualization Art / Data Art (Exploring possibilities)
Kosara
Two sides of a scale: 1) pragmatic visualization 2) artistic visualization.
User friendliness The sublime is that what inspires awe and
grandeur and evokes emotional response. The third way:
to unify them through the common concepts of critical thinking and criticism, i.e. science
How does Aesthetic differ from InfoVis?Info Vis Aesthetic Vis
User Population expert user
Usage Pattern momentary contemplative
Data Type work personal
Insight analytical something else
Design utilitarian useful
Data mapping 1 to 1 ? to ?
Visual transfer relates directly imaginative
Interpretation designer viewer
Visualisation user friendly sublime
Evaluation scientific personal
How can these systems be useful in Information Visualization?
Certain characteristics / elements can be used
There should be an InfoVis critique (critical theory)
There might be a common frame of evaluation
Certain characteristics can be used
Theories of insight analytic, awareness, social, reflective.
Design Challenges utilitarian vs useful, pleasing, ambiguity, integrate in lives of users.
There should be an InfoVis critique Neutral voice
discuss the work not the researcher
Focus on facts backup statements
No self promotion don’t mention your own work.
Clear goal to provide an alternative conclusion.
Common frame of evaluation
Although less productivity focused and different usage patterns, different data, and different systems,
there can be: insight based evaluation, system's components or comparative
evaluations, experience sampling, longitudinal studies of utilization.
