Interacting with Temporal Data

摘要

Time serves as a basis for measuring the occurrence and evolution of natural phenomena, and governs the coordination of many of our everyday life activities. As the capacities of our digital tools have grown, they have begun to make readily available to us unprecedented quantities of new, rich, structured temporal information about the people and things in our lives. This abundance of information has laid open avenues for new tools and applications - applications which, in turn, introduce new demands on interface mechanisms used to display, represent and interact with temporal data. This workshop, the second in a series on Capturing, Interacting with and Visualizing Temporal Data, will focus on such demands, examining interaction challenges emerging across new application domains.
