The evaluation of an information visualization system is a complex activity, involving the understanding of both the visualization itself and the process that it is meant to support. Moreover, if the evaluation activity includes a task based user study, it requires a considerable effort, involving both conceptual (e.g., the definition of user tasks) and technical (e.g., logging of the relevant user actions while using the system) aspects. The solution presented in this paper, STEIN (Seamless Testing Environment INtegrator), allows integrating the system under evaluation with the questions that have been designed for the user study, tracing the user's activities and automatically collecting the user's answers using the events that are generated while interacting with the system. This results in a substantial reduction of the effort associated with technical activities, thus allowing the evaluation designer to focus mainly on the conceptual aspects. A prototype of the system is available for download at awareserver.dis.uniroma1.it:8080/stein.

Visualizing for the Non-Visual: Enabling the Visually Impaired to Use Visualization
Choi, Jinho; Jung, Sanghun; Park, Deok Gun; Choo, Jaegul; Elmqvist, Niklas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2019)The majority of visualizations on the web are still stored as raster images, making them inaccessible to visually impaired users. We propose a deep-neural-network-based approach that automatically recognizes key elements ... -
Query by Visual Words: Visual Search for Scatter Plot Visualizations
Shao, Lin; Schleicher, Timo; Schreck, Tobias (The Eurographics Association, 2016)Finding interesting views in large collections of data visualizations, e.g., scatter plots, is challenging. Recently, ranking views based on heuristic quality measures has been proposed. However, quality measures may fail ... -
Volume Visualization and Visual Queries for Large High-Dimensional Datasets
Reina, G.; Ertl, T. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)We propose a flexible approach for the visualization of large, high-dimensional datasets. The raw, highdimensional data is mapped into an abstract 3D distance space using the FastMap algorithm, which helps, together with ...
