Presentation Transcript

  1. Visage: An All-in-One Tool A Paper by Roth, Lucas, Senn, et al. Presented by Josh Steele

  2. Lots of Good Things Out There.. • Table Lens • Focuses attention on subsets while still seeing the context • IVEE • Rapidly creates multiple DQ sliders • SAGE • Rapid Design of visualizations that integrate multiple attributes

  3. I want all that and more…. • Select info from multiple apps, visualizations and tools – and combine them • Enable rapid generation of visualizations (on the fly!) • Filter, control level of detail, navigate, create new info whenever needed • Share and communicate information

  4. Introducing Visage • Information Centric paradigm (more on this next slide) • Dynamic Visualization Generation • Interactive Info manipulation • Partitioning, filtering, combining, detail level (drill down/roll up) • Assembling, laying out and interactively presenting info to others

  5. Centering in on Information • Application-Centric • The File is the object – need applications to retrieve and display • Users can’t “touch” data • Document-Centric • Document is the object, and can be directly manipulated • May serve as containers for other objects • Can visualize relationships between documents • Users can “get their hands on” the documents • Information centric • The data element is the object • Drag and drop at any level of granularity • OO approach introduced in Smalltalk et al • Used in Visage

  6. Demo Presentation • *Please see in-class TV* • An abbreviated version is available at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sage/animations/Visage3.dcr

  7. Main Components • Elements • The atomically-manipulable graphical objects • Bars in bar chart, text label, point in a chart • 1 to many relationship – one database element may be represented in many ways • Frames • Hold the elements (are actually elements themselves) • Provide grouping and reference for elements • Serve as anchor points for scripts (which guide most of Visage’s behavior) • Scripts allow new values to be calculated

  8. Show it off! • Presentation tools built in • Allows interactivity in the slides themselves! Each slide is a fully functional Visage frame

  9. Visage! What’s it good for? • Representing data in several views (not just in your typical charts(pie, bar, etc)) • Dynamic Queries on that data • Quick presentation generation (with interactivity during the presentation) • Selecting only certain information

  10. HCI Metrics • User Performance - ***?? • Error Recovery - ?? • User Satisfaction - ?? • Learning Time - *** • Retention - ****

  11. How does it compare? • Number of variables? • Number of data points? • Pixel use? • When would you not use this?
