There is the option of adding a “fix” for your DC1. We’re deep into DC2 – don’t forget the sketches due this week!
The topic is interaction, which is interesting in a number of ways. On Monday’s lecture, we’ll look at some ways to think about interaction. On Wednesday, we’ll talk about implementing it and look at examples.
And if you’re wondering, I’ll be learning about new stuff in Vis as well at the IEEE VIS 2019 conference. Aditya will take care of lectures. He’ll show off some of the things that he’s worked on.
Readings for the Week
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.
- Heer, J., & Shneiderman, B. (2012). Interactive dynamics for visual analysis. Communications of the ACM, 55(4), 45. (pdf) (doi)
- 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.
