Goals of the Lecture

  • Deeper knowledge and understanding of interactive information visualizations in various usage scenarios
  • Ability to select and redevelop appropriate visualization and interaction techniques based on tasks, users, and environments
  • Systematic analysis and evaluation of existing information visualization solutions
  • Advanced knowledge in the field of scientific work

Topics of the Lecture

  • Spectrum of advanced interactive information visualization for multivariate data as well as structural and hierarchical data
  • Advanced techniques for managing large amounts of information: Zoomable user interfaces, multiple views, focus+context techniques
  • Comprehensive overview of modern information visualization environments and suitable interaction techniques within these environments
  • Basic understanding on other further research-related topics for interactive information visualizations
Examples of interactive visualization environments:
[top-left] touch interactions for magic lenses (MultiLens); [top-center] spatial interaction with tablet computers (Mobile3DVis); [top-right] combining smartwatches and large displays (David Meets Goliath);
[bottom-left] collaborative work using large displays (MCV DisplayWall); [bottom-center] personal augmented reality on large interactive displays (PARVIS); [bottom-right] mobile devices and augmented reality (MARVIS);
