A Visual Exploratory Data Analysis Tool At Work: Contextual Inquiry of Session Viewer |
We conducted a contextual inquiry to study visual exploratory analysis of web session logs with Session Viewer at the workplace. With seven log-analyst participants working on their own experimental data, we collected 20 hours of tool use, and grouped our findings into two themes: (1) design implications in dealing with real-world noisy data, and (2) factors that affect eventual tool adoption in the workplace. We find that noisy data requires substantial data validation and selection that should be facilitated by the tool. The level of tool flexibility should be based more on target users’ technical skills than on data. The tool should allow fluid data projection to support frequent analysis direction changes. For tool adoption, we believe the strongest determinant is whether the tool fulfills a true need in the analysis process. For large data analysis, integration to current tool set is not as critical as we once assumed. |

Exploring Methods to Improve Pen-based Menu Selection |
A previous study of Tablet PC pen interaction determined that selecting the top edge of the menu item below the target item was a major source of selection errors. We conducted a study to investigate two different approaches to correcting for this error, comparing them to each other and to a control condition. The first approach is to deactivate the top edge such that it functions as an invisible menu separator. The second is to reassign the top edge such that taps in this region are interpreted as selection of the item above, while leaving the visual appearance of the items unchanged. |

Many lecture halls and conference rooms today are equipped with multiple projectors and large high-resolution displays. Existing presentation software, however, only support a single, static slide projected on one full screen. With the goal of designing richer presentation tools that can take advantage of the increased screen resolution and real-estate, we conducted an observational study that examined current practice with visual aids in presentations. We observed both traditional visual aids such as whiteboards and blackboards as well as presentations using computer generated slides. By observing presentations in both classroom and conference settings we were able to devise several design guidelines for building presentation tools that are aimed at enhancing audience learning. Finally, using these guidelines, we have designed an initial prototype system for authoring and presenting a presentation on multiple displays. |
