Interactions in Visualization
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Nowadays, the vertiginous growth of information generates volumes of data that are increasingly larger and difficult to understand and analyze.The contribution of visualization to the exploration and understanding of these large data sets is highly significant [1,2,3,4,5].Usually, different application domains require different visual representations, however, several of them share intermediate states of data, transformations, and/or require similar manipulations.These common denominators suggest the need for a visualization model that is consistent for all visualization areas and valid for different application domains.In this context, the Unified Visualization Model (UVM) is defined [6].The UVM is a model of states and transformations that represents the flow of the data throughout the visualization process.The properties of the visualization process determine that the user should be able to interact with the data and its intermediate representations, control the transformations and manipulate the visualizations.In this context, the definition of a taxonomy of the interactions in the visualization area is extremely necessary to achieve a better understanding of the interactions' design space.
