Towards a construction kit for visual search interfaces

Abstract

In recent years, many novel approaches have been propsed to exploring complex data sets. However, little guidance is available for designers to create similar solutions and to reuse established patterns. This paper is building upon our previous work that covers the development of a construction kit to support designers in creating new visual search interfaces. It provides a set of elements and patterns that can be easily combined with each other. In this paper, we present different application scenarios for using the construction kit within the design process.
