Data on your fingertips: Designing captivating interactive visualizationsIn a rapidly growing world of digital information, what matters is not only what you say but how you say it. If the users are captivated by the experience of exploring your data, chances are that they will find it pleasurable and learn things they didn't know they were looking for. This is the challenge of designing interactive visualizations. In the talk, I will focus on the experiential quality of pliability and how it contributes to captivating user experiences. We will look at a range of examples of screen-mouse-keyboard applications as well as mixed-media environments to understand what it means when users find an interaction pliable. The examples are drawn from online information services, database information retrieval, personal information management and other domains where interactive visualization is an attractive option.
