Challenges in Visualization • Novel Imaging Modalities • From Data Fusion to Visual Fusion • Visual Computing • Illustrative Visualization • Visualization Yes ! – Interaction No ? • Interaction Yes ! – BUT User centric ! Eduard Gröller
Visualization Yes ! – Interaction No ? • Problems • Interaction is very time-consuming • Interaction prevents comparisons • Interaction hampers reporting • Challenges • Provide standardized views • Algorithms highly parameterized – provide sensible default settings • Support automatic parameter tuning • Provide navigational aids • Examples • Automatic view point selection • Focus of attention • Automatic light placement (inconsistent lighting) • Automatic reporting • Dynamic poster - automatic storytelling Eduard Gröller
Importance-Driven Focus of Attention (1) • Guided navigation between characteristic views [Viola et al. 2006] Eduard Gröller Eduard Gröller, Ivan Viola

Interaction Yes ! – BUT User Centric ! • Problems • Medical doctors do not (want to) know transfer functions • Complex 3D interaction is complex • Challenges • Include user model (novice, experienced, expert) • Include motifs • Include user preferences • 2D+ navigation (instead of 3D navigation) • Examples • Semantic layers for illustrative volume rendering • Knowledge-based navigation Eduard Gröller
Semantic Layers for Illustrative Volume Rendering (1) • Mapping volumetric attributes to visual styles • Use natural language of domain expert (rules) • Rules evaluated with fuzzy logic arithmetics [Rautek et al. 2007] Eduard Gröller

Long term goal: Interaction at sub-pick resolution Knowledge-Based Navigation (1) • Interaction with 2D slices • Automatic generation of expressive 3D views Video Eduard Gröller

Visualization – I see it my way IIAction without Interaction • Abstract: Visualization provides computer-supported tools to enable users with insight into their data. Over the last 25 years visualization as a discipline has come a long way in terms of maturity and in providing a rich set of algorithms and systems for visual exploration, analysis, and presentation of data. Interaction is considered a key component in the analysis process. The talk will argue for a sparse and cautious usage of interaction in visualization. The importance of a user centric structuring of interaction functionality will be illustrated with several research examples from our group. Eduard Gröller
