Do You See What I See? A Qualitative Study Eliciting High-Level Visualiz ation Comprehension
Authors: Paul Rosen, Ghulam Jilani Quadri (University of North Carolina), Zhehao Wang (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Arran Zeyu Wang (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill), Jennifer Adorno (University of South Florida), Danielle Albers Szafir (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill)
This work explores how viewers interpret visualizations in alignment with designers' communicative goals, contrasting with traditional studies focused on isolated tasks. It contains an investigation into the natural comprehension of high-level patterns in visualizations, revealing discrepancies between stated objectives and audience understanding across different chart types.
In addition, Kahlert School of Computing Associate Professor, Katherine E Isaacs will be one of the chairs for the workshop Human-Notebook Interactions: The CHI of Computational Notebooks. The workshop aims to unite researchers from the CHI community to foster collaboration at the intersection of computational notebook and HCI research, focusing on the effective design and use of interfaces within computational notebook environments.
