Interactive Information Visualization in Everyday Life: Web Application meets Natural Input Modality

In the scope of research and working, efficient techniques to evaluate data and gathering more insight is really important. But to explore and evaluate those datasets, there are only a couple of expert related tools, which would not used by non-expert users. This bachelor thesis describes possibilities of approaches for natural interaction with multi-faced data. The conceptualized web application should help novices to evaluate daily used data. It uses the technique of parallel coordinates in combination of a natural gesture detecting sensor. The used gestures are leant to common ways of interaction. In addition to these schemes, known problems of parallel coordinates are handled by using a new approach to organize information in those views. Some parts of this concepts shall be implemented as a prototype
to evaluate them. In order of the thesis insights, methods of using complex visualizations with gestural interaction to explore everyday data, are described.
