A Buffer Framework for Supporting Responsive Interaction in Information Visualization Interfaces
Description:
We present a framework that we are developing to better solve several critical issues that arise when interactive systems are extended to large displays. These issues include slow reaction times, difficulties with high numbers of concurrent interactions or user inputs, and problems that occur when combining several aspects of visualizations. In part, these issues arise from a number of complexities that are present in current approaches. This makes it important to tackle this problem directly rather simply waiting until the computing power has increased sufficiently and calls for a fundamentally new approach to computer interface foundations. Our framework combines ideas from information visualization, large displays, collaborative work, and non-photorealistic rendering (NPR). Specifically, we are employing four concepts/techniques: layered buffers, local coherence, emergent complexity, and force fields.
Table interface before the use of our buffer framework, on a tabletop display with about two megapixels, showing the significant slow-down as more and more objects need to be animated:
Re-implemented table interface using the new buffer framework, also on the larger tabletop display, showing a variety of interaction techniques and widgets and the simultaneous use of a high number of images and other objects:
