Human Factors in Visualization Research
Collaborators: J. Edward Swan II (Associate Professor, Mississippi State University), Matthew Morris (MS CSE Student, Mississippi State University)
This research program explores different human factors in visualization such as user interfaces, perceptual issues, etc. While new visualization techniques are neede to solve a user's tasks, those techniques are not useful without effective means for the user to utilize them.
Research Highlights
VisSheet
As visualization techniques proliferate, it becomes more difficult to utilize them in an effective manner. Visualization systems must communicate where a user is currently in their exploration, where they have been, and where they could go in the future. This research aims at developing principles for structured visualization exploration using a spreadsheet-like interface for the exploration.
