Reading 16: Interaction

by Mike Gleicher on March 21, 2012

For class Monday, March 26th we’ll talk about interaction.

The readings are:

  • “Interaction Principles” – Chapter 4 of Munzner’s book. (chapter here, or you know where to find the whole book).
  • Interactive Dynamics for Visual Analysis – by Heer and Shneiderman. (online version here)

These are both more surveys – “zoos” of techniques, many of which you’ve seen but not realized that there are names for. Having names, and seeing the relationships between them is quite useful.

Please discuss on the Piazza page for reading 16. If you need something to think about, consider the pros and cons of using interaction as a tool for addressing visualization issues.
