With ubiquitous mobile computing devices spreading throughout the urban environment of everyday life, there is a growing need to better understand person-place relationships and how technology can play a role in this urban experience. To this end, we... Read More about Walking & talking: probing the urban lived experience..

The design space of temporal graph visualisation. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerracher, N., Kennedy, J., & Chalmers, K. (2014, June). The design space of temporal graph visualisation. Presented at 8th Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis '14)

This paper presents our work in mapping the design space of techniques for temporal graph visualisation. We identify two independent dimensions upon which the techniques can be classified: graph structural encoding and temporal encoding. Based on the...

Visualizing Sets: An Empirical Comparison of Diagram Types. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chapman, P., Stapleton, G., Rodgers, P., Micallef, L., & Blake, A. (2014, July). Visualizing Sets: An Empirical Comparison of Diagram Types. Presented at 8th International Conference on Theory and Application of Diagrams: Diagrams 2014, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

There are a range of diagram types that can be used to visualize
sets. However, there is a significant lack of insight into which is the
most effective visualization. To address this knowledge gap, this paper empirically evaluates four diagram type... Read More about Visualizing Sets: An Empirical Comparison of Diagram Types..

Evaluating the Impact of Clutter in Euler Diagrams. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alqadah, M., Stapleton, G., Howse, J., & Chapman, P. (2014, July). Evaluating the Impact of Clutter in Euler Diagrams

Euler diagrams, used to visualize data and as a basis for visual languages, are an effective representation of information, but they can become cluttered. Previous research established a measure of Euler diagram clutter, empirically shown to correspo... Read More about Evaluating the Impact of Clutter in Euler Diagrams..
