{"title":"Dynamic Graph Visualization with Multiple Visual Metaphors","authors":"Michael Burch","doi":"10.1145/2801040.2801048","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2801040.2801048","url":null,"abstract":"Visualizing dynamic graphs is challenging due to the many data dimensions to be displayed such as graph vertices and edges with their attached weights or attributes and the additional time dimension. Moreover, edge directions with multiplicities and the graph topology are also important inherent features. However, in many dynamic graph visualization techniques each graph in a sequence is treated the same way, i.e., it is visually encoded in the same visual metaphor or even in the same layout. This visualization strategy can be problematic if the graphs are changing topologically over time, i.e., if a sparse graph becomes denser and denser over time or a star pattern is changing into a dense cluster of connected vertices. Such a dynamic graph data scenario demands for a visualization approach which is able to adapt the applied visual metaphor to each graph separately. In this paper we show an idea to solve this problem by using multiple visual metaphors for dynamic graphs which are computed automatically by algorithms analyzing each individual graph based on a given repertoire of graph features. The biggest issue in this technique for the graph dynamics, however, is the preservation of the viewer's mental map at metaphor changes, i.e., to guide him through the graph changes with the goal to explore the data for time-varying patterns. To reach this goal we support the analyst by an interactive highlighting feature.","PeriodicalId":399556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125791064","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}

Although metaphors are ubiquitous in information visualization designs, different connotations influence users' information processing dissimilarly. However, visual metaphors imply interfering attributes caused by the source concepts, and lead to backfire effects on users' inferences. Understanding the pros and cons of metaphoric transfer effect in information visualization would help optimizing visualization designs, and improve efficiency and accuracy of information processing. This study empirically examines how metaphors influence different activities of information processing, including comprehension, inference and judgment in information visualization. Metaphors illustrating strongly implying semantic meanings in source domain can improve both the user's conceptual fluency in information comprehension, and the rate of correctness in information searching.","PeriodicalId":399556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129550319","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}

In the simulation part, we compute the motion of sand and water based on the interactions for water-water, sand-water and sand-sand. In the rendering part, we attempt to balance the rendering quality and the computation cost. We render water using a ray tracing method and the sand is rendered with shadow. Thus, the rendered results of water and sand look like 2.5D.

A sighted trainer can observe the situation of a visually impaired trainee, and control the pan-tilt head to communicate with the trainee over the network. The trainer's voice is outputted from the parametric speaker and then reflected on the surface of a target object. The visually impaired trainee can hear the reflected voice as if it is generated from the object, and thus the robot can let the trainee know the object position. This robot system is applied to the ADL training where visually impaired individuals learn to use various objects arranged in their living environments.

Efficient video research styles are appealing for facilely exploring video content appropriate to user's intention with a low cognitive load. The style of input becomes particularly relevant during the process of finding a target video clip in a large-scale database on tablets or other mobile devices. Some users have strong allegiance to input text, while others only input sketches. In this paper, we present the first systematic comparison of these two input styles and analyze the responses and feedbacks of users. An elaborated user study was conducted to test two different styles of inputting the semantics. Some users preferred to text input because it could describe their objective easily in a short time, yet some users also liked sketch because it helped illustrate the action or orientation clearly and immediately. Combining text with sketch (\"sketch-text\") is efficient for searching video of complex queries. The evaluation results show users' enjoying \"sketch-text\" and its higher performance than other input styles.","PeriodicalId":399556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131033052","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}
