Visualization Evaluation of the Masses, by the Masses, and for the Masses
From BELIV 2010
Presentation
Notes
- for most vis, is there a better design? engaging designer in evaluation
- analytical framework for vis criticism
- cost effective vis techniques: crowdsourced experiments
- replicate clevelands graphical perception study in the 80s using m. turks
- higher variance but same pattern holds, turkers are more accurate and faster
q and a:
- cost to pay for becoming main stream, people doing fun things for a while, but will settle? more important in system design and defaults
- reward structure different for designers and infovis researchers? can learn from each other, playfulness may be good
- easier on the web to propose new design since only need to draw? data is a stakeholder in vis as in users, prototyping for vis is different from other interfaces
- criticism, bad vis is not helpful? mean constructive, strength and weaknesses
- other side, tufte, too far over the extreme and too designed? have other books
