Perspective+Detail - a visualization technique for vertically curved displays In Proceedings of the 11th International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces - AVI 2012, Capri, Naples, Italy, May 21 - 25, 2012. |
This paper describes the perspective+detail visualization concept, which extends the conventional overview+detail pattern by adding a perspective viewing area and a further, text-based area containing partial details. Known problems of such extensions are mitigated using a vertically curved display. Our concept aims to bridge both the geographical and the content gap between the two main display areas and to provide an improved overview. An experimental case study based on a typical traffic control room operator task provided first insights on our visualization. These initial findings revealed that perspective+detail assists users in fulfilling their tasks and keeping their orientation in the information space. |
