Visual information seeking: Tight coupling of dynamic query filters with starfield displays, Ahlberg & Shneiderman. (html)

Kinda weird.

• Reading about the HomeFinder I kept thinking "what, zillow?"
• The MovieFinder does sound cool, but also really hardcoded. i.e. you can search by actor, but only one at a time :\
• all of this seems to have missed search and fulltext indexing. Makes sense, because computers weren't that fast then.

Visual exploration of time-series data, Hochheiser & Schneiderman. (html) (pdf)

• timebox - brilliant! timeline, but for scatterplot, and maintainig selections effectively as objects
• rest of it - hmm. Some concepts explained well, some not.

Demonstrations

ggobi

• installs as a .pkg and won't run otherwise, i'm against it; might work right from x?

Homefinder

Cellphones

• pretty cool! just a lot of querying though, nothing crazy I don't *think*

Fry's zipdecode

• absolutely clever, instantaneous makes the win. Encourages play.
• zoom function seems to arbitrarily bound.

Table lens
