This presentation covers innovative approaches in information visualization, focusing on the utilization of 3D interactive animations to enhance user interaction and data representation. It discusses the challenges of traditional WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) interfaces and proposes strategies such as multi-agent systems and increased real-time interaction to improve the user experience. Key problems addressed include viewpoint and object movement issues and limited screen space. The talk aims to redefine the future of user interfaces by integrating advanced visualization techniques.

Information Visualization Using 3D Interactive Animation George G Robertson, Stuart K Card, and Jock D. MacKinlay Presented by David Wang CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Goal and Motivation • Seek successor to UI using Desktop metaphor • Hardware prices dropping, performance rising • What is there aside from WIMP CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Strategies • Making User workspace larger • Enabling user interaction with multiple Agents • Increasing real-time interaction rate between user and system • Provide visual abstraction to speed information assimilation and retrieval CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Identified Problems • Multiple Agent Problem • Animation Problem • Interaction Problem • Viewpoint Movement Problem • Object Movement Problem • Small Screen Space Problem CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Workspace • More screen space. Rooms. Multiple desktops. • Denser screen space. Animation and 3D. CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Agents • Search Agents • Clustering Agent • Interactive Objects CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Real-time Constraints • Tune to Human Constants • Cognitive Coprocessor Scheduler and Governor CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Visual Abstractions • Hierarchical Structure -> Cone Tree • Linear Structure -> Perspective Wall • Continuous Data -> Data Sculpture • Spatial Data -> Office Floor plan CMSC838F: Information Visualization

Strengths • Formalizes and defines tasks that a next-generation 3D Animated UI would have to perform. CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Weaknesses • Sorry. The “future” didn’t happen as envisioned. • The desktop paradigm, augmented with the “web paradigm” survives. WIMP still rules. CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Favorite Sentence • In the 1990’s, it is likely that information access will be a primary force in shaping the successor to the desktop metaphor. CMSC838F: Information Visualization
Update to the UI Paradigm • Web Book and Web Forager. • Card, Robertson, York. 1996. CMSC838F: Information Visualization
