Pattern Browser: Spiral-Based Interactive Visualization Using Timelines on a Geographical Map

摘要

Patterns exist in many contexts and can be con- sidered the useful information for decision making. However, many patterns are not directly visible without careful presenta- tion. Here, we describe an interactive visualization approach for browsing patterns in a history of interacting with a computer system. While a user is carrying out his/her business using com- puters, activities with respect to time and location are captured to determine the situational interactions.
