“…In contrast to the geometric selection paradigm for the focal area used in traditional fisheye views, the selection may also follow a degree-of-interest function, as it is the case in the path-lenses or cluster-lenses by Wang et al [17]. Recent work by Bauer et al presents a group-based interaction paradigm for three-dimensional network drawings in virtual reality [52]. Individual groups can be moved far away, brought close to a user, and projected into two dimensions on the floor in front of a user, thereby de-emphasising elements by their position in three dimensions.…”

Analysts often have to work with and make sense of large complex networks. One possible solution is to make visualisations interactive, providing users with a way to control visual clutter. Although several interactive methods have been proposed, there may be situations where some of them are too specific to be directly applicable. We have therefore identified several underlying low-level visual transformations, steered by group structures in the networks, and investigated their individual effects on user performance. This may both facilitate the development of further methods and support the generation of new hypotheses. We conducted an exploratory online experiment with 300 participants, involving five tasks, one control condition, and five group-based visual transformations: de-emphasising groups by opacity, position or size, aggregating groups, and hiding groups. The results for the three tasks that were specifically referring to groups show a high usage of the visual transformations by participants and several positive effects of the latter on accuracy, completion time, and mental effort spent. On the other hand, the two tasks that were not directly referring to groups show a lower usage of the visual transformations and the results regarding effects are rather mixed.
