3. Design Issues
• Input devices & strategies
• Keyboards, pointing devices, voice
• Direct manipulation
• Menus, forms, commands
• Output devices & formats
• Screens, windows, color, sound
• Text, tables, graphics
• Instructions, messages, help
• Collaboration & Social Media www.awl.com/DTUI
Fifth E dition: 2010
• Help, tutorials, training
• Search • Vis u alization
4. Information Visualization
• Visual bandwidth is enormous
• Human perceptual skills are remarkable
• Trend, cluster, gap, outlier...
• Color, size, shape, proximity...
• Three challenges
• Meaningful visual displays of massive data
• Interaction: widgets & window coordination
• Process models for discovery
18. Temporal Data: TimeSearcher 1.3
• Time series
• Stocks
• Weather
• Genes
• User-specified
patterns
• Rapid search
19. Temporal Data: TimeSearcher 2.0
• Long Time series (>10,000 time points)
• Multiple variables
• Controlled precision in match
(Linear, offset, noise, amplitude)
38. Discovery Process: Systematic Yet Flexible
Preparation
• Own the problem & define the schedule
• Data cleaning & conditioning
• Handle missing & uncertain data
• Extract subsets & link to related information
39. SocialAction
• Integrates statistics
& visualization
• 4 case studies, 4-8 weeks
(journalist, bibliometrician, terrorist analyst,
organizational analyst)
• Identified desired features, gave strong positive
feedback about benefits of integration

The Craft of Information Visualization: Readings and Reflections
"The IN Cell Analyzer automated microscope was used to identify proteins influencing the division of human cells. After the images were analyzed, quantitative results were transferred to Spotfire DecisionSite. This screen revealed the previously unknown involvement of the retinol binding protein RBP1 in cell cycle control.(Stubbs S, & Thomas N. 2006 Methods in Enzymology; 414:1-21.) Retinol a form of Vitamin A plays a crucial role in vision and during embryonic development"
Contrast and Creatinine dataset In some diagnostic radiology procedures, patients are injected contrast material. However, some patients develop adverse side effects to the contrast material. One serious side effect is renal failure, which is detected by high creatinine levels in a patient's blood. This adverse effect usually occur within two weeks after the radiology contrast. WHC is interested in finding the proportion of patients who exhibit this condition in historical records. Screenshots 1-aligned-ranked.png: We align by the 1st occurrence of radiology contrast and rank by the number of creatinine high (CREAT-H) events to bring the most severe patients to the top. We realize two things: (1) some patients have more than 1 "Radiology Contrast" events, and (2), some patients have consistently high creatinine readings (chronic kidney failure). 2-aligned(all)-distribution-selected.png We align by all occurrences of raiology contrast, and then show the temporal summary of CREAT-H events. The patients are presented in 4 exclusive sets in the summary: those who have CREAT-H only before alignment, only after alignment, both before and after, and neither. We then select from the "only after" summary the patients who have at least one CREAT-H event within 2 weeks of any "Radiology Contrast" event. There are 421 patients.
