    • Visualization-assisted Insights into Home Energy Usage 

      Law, Matthew; Rollins, Sami; Banerjee, Nilanjan; Joshi, Alark (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Motivated by both cost savings and environmental concerns, managing energy in the home has become increasingly important. Though both user-driven and automated solutions have shown promise, a deeper understanding of the ...
    • Interaction with Uncertainty in Visualisations 

      Sarkar, Advait; Blackwell, Alan F.; Jamnik, Mateja; Spott, Martin (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      In recent years, a number of algorithms have been developed which provide fast approximate computations on large datasets. There is considerable interest in exploiting these techniques to render interactive visualisations ...
    • Task Taxonomy for Cartograms 

      Nusrat, Sabrina; Kobourov, Stephen (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Cartograms are maps in which areas of geographic regions (countries, states) appear in proportion to some variable of interest (population, income). Despite the popularity of cartograms and the large number of cartogram ...
    • OceanPaths: Visualizing Multivariate Oceanography Data 

      Nobre, Carolina; Lex, Alexander (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
      Geographical datasets are ubiquitous in oceanography. While map-based visualizations are useful for many different domains, they can suffer from cluttering and overplotting issues when used for multivariate data sets. As ...
