Remember, this week we’re on the odd schedule with no class on Monday (October 29th), but classes on Wednesday and Friday.
Last week, we spent the whole week on Color. This week, we’ll move on to talk about interaction. It’s something that’s better to experience than to talk about, so we’ll look at examples. For the ICE, we’ll do a design problem that will help us thinking about how to combine different encodings.

Readings (due Mon, Oct 29 – preferably before class)
The first reading is a survey paper that provides a good way to organize many of the interactions we see in visualization, and provides lots of good examples.

- Maniplate View (Chapter 11 from Munzner’s Visualization Analysis & Design) (Munzner-11-ManipulateView.pdf 0.5mb)
- Facet into Multiple Views (Chapter 12 from Munzner’s Visualization Analysis & Design) (Munzner-12-FacetMultipleViews.pdf 1.0mb)This isn’t specific to interaction, but it fits better here than anywhere else.
Optional
I’ll use this paper to frame the discussion in class. It provides a good “why not add interaction” point of view.
