To simulate the furniture and office layout, 3D layout systems are commonly used. However, generating 3D room layouts is a very time-consuming task because it needs complicated manual operations and much technical knowledge. Therefore, we need any tools that help us to easily generate 3D room layouts. The authors have been developing a 3D room layout system that has the following features:\u0000 1. Analysis of user preference (Conjoint analysis).\u0000 2. Optimization of 3D room layouts based on Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC).\u0000 Although IEC is useful for applying the user preferences to the solution, there is a problem about the tiredness of user evaluation operations of IEC process because of the large search space of solutions. To cope with this problem, the authors adopted a prediction method for shrinking the search space and employed a multiscreen interface for reducing the tiredness of each user. In this paper, the authors also justify the usefulness of the system from the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121045961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing multidimensional visualizations typically create visual clutter and over-plotting that make it difficult for interaction with data items directly. Our new space filling technique uses horizontal lines to represent multidimensional data items. Each line is logically divided into segments based on color mapping in order to denote the data item with its value. The proposed visualization is space efficient and also avoids the visual clutter and over-plotting problems as we have often observed in other visualizations. In addition, we allow user to interact directly with data on the display which is more intuitive and efficient than other means.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124083235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous methods have been designed to provide overview patterns in parallel coordinate plots. However, detailed information is also important in data analysis. When several lines overlap or are close to one another, distinguishing detailed information of polyline crossings is difficult. In this paper, we present a novel approach to address the problem of polyline crossing ambiguity by using data labels. We place different labels along various polylines to give cues for differentiation of lines. We bend the lines and optimize the arrangement of curved lines to provide space for clear visible labels. An energy system that models attractive and repulsive forces of lines is used to guide the search for optimized line arrangement. The experiments on several real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128098551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, a review of currently available mobile AR apps suggests that they are embracing practical uses instead of simply showing off the capabilities of AR. Many of these apps are making information more ubiquitous without making the user necessarily aware of the data's origins, using graphics to represent multiple datasets. There has been however little research focusing on the trends in AR and the types of data visualisations used in mobile AR. The purpose of this paper is to fill that void by presenting an analysis of currently popular mobile AR apps on the market. Our findings from this small-scale investigation give an indication of the types of visualisation styles used in current mobile AR apps and highlight suggestions for how to make the information presented more relevant, for example by using better filtering methods.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117276573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an interactive artwork and drawing tool for creative participant experiences. As is discussed, emergence is characteristically creative. It is also debated across and within disciplines, resulting in a range of understandings as well as models. This paper shows how one field's understanding of emergence (complexity theory) can be used to facilitate emergence in another domain (design research) and, importantly provide the opportunity for someone to act creatively. This paper begins with a brief review of some theories of emergence to show how they interrelate and can effect the perception of emergent structures in an observer, and, correspondingly, the design for creative experience. This is subsequently demonstrated in the second section of the paper where an interactive artwork and drawing application, Of me with me, is presented. This artwork by the author was created during collaboration with community artists from Cerebral Palsy League. The discussion covers the application of emergence theories to create this visualization in order facilitate the perception of structures and creative behaviours in a participant and to facilitate self-efficacy in the community artist user group.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125259410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm can partition a polygonal shape or even an arbitrary shape into smaller polygons, rotated rectangles or vertical-horizontal rectangles. The proposed method and implementation algorithms provide an effective interactive visualization tool for partitioning large hierarchical structures within a confined display area with different shapes for real-time applications.
