Supporting Interactive Graph Analysis Using Adjustable Magic Lenses

Published: 15 November 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Magic lenses are important tools for visualization and can be used to explore and edit graphs. Here, large displays can be beneficial for both their visualization space and possibility for multi-user analysis. With this work, we contribute the enhancement of graph lens functionality by allowing the user to switch lens functions, adjust function parameters, and combine lenses. Further, we investigate the application of various interaction modalities for magic lenses, such as multi-touch, tangibles, and body-centric interaction, to support interactive graph exploration and manipulation.
