商品描述

Displaying multiple levels of data visually has been proposed to address the challenge of limited screen space. Although many previous empirical studies have addressed different aspects of this question, the information visualization research community does not currently have a clearly articulated consensus on how, when, or even if displaying data at multiple levels is effective. To shed more light on this complex topic, we conducted a systematic review of 22 existing multi-level interface studies to extract high-level design guidelines. To facilitate discussion, we cast our analysis findings into a four-point decision tree: (1) When are multi-level displays useful? (2) What should the higher visual levels display? (3) Should the different visual levels be displayed simultaneously, or one at a time? (4) Should the visual levels be embedded in a single display, or separated into multiple displays? Our analysis resulted in three design guidelines: (1) the number of levels in display and data should match; (2) high visual levels should only display task-relevant information; (3) simultaneous display, rather than temporal switching, is suitable for tasks with multi-level answers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

顯示多層次數據的視覺化已被提出以應對有限螢幕空間的挑戰。儘管許多先前的實證研究已經探討了這個問題的不同面向,但信息視覺化研究社群目前對於如何、何時,甚至是否有效地顯示多層次數據並沒有明確的共識。

為了更深入了解這個複雜的主題,我們對22項現有的多層次介面研究進行了系統性回顧,以提取高層次的設計指導方針。為了促進討論,我們將分析結果整理成四個決策樹點:(1) 何時多層次顯示是有用的?(2) 高層次的視覺應顯示什麼?(3) 不同的視覺層次應該同時顯示,還是一次顯示一個?(4) 視覺層次應該嵌入在單一顯示中,還是分開成多個顯示?

我們的分析得出了三個設計指導方針:(1) 顯示和數據的層次數量應該匹配;(2) 高層次的視覺應僅顯示與任務相關的信息;(3) 對於具有多層次答案的任務,應該使用同時顯示,而非時間切換。
