Studying direct-touch interaction for 2D flow visualization
Abstract
Traditionally, scientific visualization research concentrates on the development and improvement of interactive techniques to support expert data analysis. While many scientific visualization tools have been developed for desktop environments and individual use, scenarios that go beyond mouse and keyboard interaction have received considerably less attention. We present a study that investigates how large-display direct-touch interaction affects data exploration and insight generation among groups of nonexperts exploring 2D vector data. In this study, pairs of participants used interaction techniques to customize and explore 2D vector visualizations and collaboratively discussed the process to develop their own understanding of the data sets.
