Abstract

We introduce touch-enabled magic lenses that can be manipulated and parametrized through uent interactions. Interaction with lenses for information visualization and data exploration has mostly been limited to single-user, single-function lenses. In this work, we present our prototype on lenses where lens function, parameters and combination of functions can be manipulated using uent touch interaction. To achieve this, our tool consists of a widget-based approach for novice users as well as a set of continuous gestures for expert users. Additionally, we support the combination of lenses and thereby create a multi-purpose lens tool.
