“…In the context of information visualization, interactive visual annotations have been introduced to support synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, often for deixis [14,24]. In these tools annotations sit on a layer separate from the data, not integrated in its processing and representation.…”

Motivated by the need to better manage energy demand in the home, in this paper we advocate the integration into Ubicomp systems of interactive energy consumption visualisations, that allow users to engage with and understand their consumption data, relating it to concrete activities in their life. To this end, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of FigureEnergy, a novel interactive visualisation that allows users to annotate and manipulate a graphical representation of their own electricity consumption data, and therefore make sense of their past energy usage and understand when, how, and to what end, some amount of energy was used. To validate our design, we deployed FigureEnergy "in the wild" -12 participants installed meters in their homes and used the system for a period of two weeks. The results suggest that the annotation approach is successful overall: by engaging with the data users started to relate energy consumption to activities rather than just to appliances. Moreover, they were able to discover that some appliances consume more than they expected, despite having had prior experience of using other electricity displays.

“…Cadiz et al researched communication between web editors by implementing the system that can write notes directly to web pages and making an long term experiment for a few handred participants [4]. Ellis and Groth developed an asynchronous communication system that can attach annotations including texts, images and sounds to the video [5]. We supported distant and asynchronous discussion concerned with musical expression.…”

Abstract. Music ensemble players discuss musical expression of the piece of music they perform, and determine how to play each note in a score such as the length and the dynamics of tone or phrases in every detail of the music. This paper introduces our system that supports the discussion about musical expressions on the web. Our system enables the users to write comments, draw symbols, and link videos on the score where they are discussing about. We also conducted an informal usability study to evaluate the usefulness of the system.

“…A drawback of this forum is that it does not provide sufficient aids to help users create, associate, organize, and retrieve comments. Ellis and Groth [8] use annotations to share discoveries in their collaborative data visualization environment. Unfortunately, users need to create the annotations manually and find insights of their interests manually.…”

Although significant progress has been made toward effective insight discovery in visual sense making approaches, there is a lack of effective and efficient approaches to manage the large amounts of insights discovered. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach to leverage this problem around the concept of facts. Facts refer to patterns, relationships, or anomalies extracted from data under analysis. They are the direct products of visual exploration and permit construction of insights together with user's mental model and evaluation. Different from the mental model, the type of facts that can be discovered from data is predictable and applicationindependent. Thus it is possible to develop a general Fact Management Framework (FMF) to allow visualization users to effectively and efficiently annotate, browse, retrieve, associate, and exchange facts. Since facts are essential components of insights, it will be feasible to extend FMF to effective insight management in a variety of visual analytics approaches. Toward this goal, we first construct a fact taxonomy that categorizes various facts in multidimensional data and captures their essential attributes through extensive literature survey and user studies. We then propose a conceptual framework of fact management based upon this fact taxonomy. A concrete scenario of visual sense making on real data sets illustrates how this FMF will work.
