Demonstrating VisTiles: Visual Data Exploration Using Mobile Devices

Research output: Contribution to book/Conference proceedings/Anthology/ReportConference contributionContributedpeer-review

Abstract

We demonstrate the prototype of the conceptual VisTiles framework. VisTiles allows exploring multivariate data sets by using multiple coordinated views that are distributed across a set of mobile devices. This setup allows users to benefit from dynamic and user-defined interface arrangements and to easily initiate co-located data exploration sessions. The current web-based prototype runs on commodity devices and is able to determine the spatial device arrangement by either a cross-device pinch gesture or an external tracking system. Multiple data sets are provided that can be explored by different visualizations (e.g., scatterplots, parallel coordinate plots, stream graphs). With this demonstration, we showcase the general concepts of VisTiles and discuss ideas for enhancements as well the potential for application cases beyond data analysis.
