Research into creating visualisations that organise ideas into concise concept maps often focuses on implicit mathematical and statistical theories which are built around algorithmic efficacy or visual complexity. Although there are multiple techniques which attempt to mathematically optimise this multi-dimensional problem, it is still unknown how to create concept maps that are immediately understandable to people. In this paper, we present an indepth qualitative study observing the behaviour and discussing the strategy used by non-expert participants to create, interact, update and communicate a concept map that represents a collection of research ideas. Our results show non-expert individuals create concept maps differently to visualisation algorithms. We found that our participants prioritised narrative, landmarks, abstraction, clarity, and simplicity. Finally, we derive design recommendations from our results which we hope will inspire future algorithms that automatically create more usable and compelling concept maps better suited to the natural behaviours and needs of users.

“…Mental models used during interaction with our real environment (Johnson-Laird, 1983;Staggers and Norcio, 1993) might not be applicable, and there is a need to better understand when and why they fail. Scholars have defined what is required of a visual representation in order to be accepted as a representation of an object or milieu (Tversky, 2013;Bae and Watson, 2013;Eppler, 2013). Interplay between different perceptual cues are also well known and, in 1920, David Katz conducted a study where he compared touch with vision and came to the conclusion that, "When we touch some common object, the tactile impression is always permeated with visual experience" (Katz, 1989, p.156).…”

A testbed was developed aiming to contribute to further knowledge on what is required from a VR application in order to be useful for planning of assembly tasks. In a pilot study the testbed was tested on students. The focus of the study was to explore the users’ behaviour, and to gain a better understanding of their experience using VR. The students experienced a gap between the real world and VR, which confirms theories that VR is not a copy or twin of an object or environment.

“…Visualization for Communication Visualization used in communication allows people to fluidly leverage data to support their arguments [21]. To that goal, efforts have been made to design better visual graphics to convey quantitative information [8,13,41], and to evaluate the communication accuracy and efficieny of different visual elements [11,38], and to prioritize and explore the explanatory side of visualization for effective presentation [27]. Designing expressive and narrative visualizations has also been evolving as a recent focus around this topic.…”

Designing Communicative Visualization for People with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities

Visualization research has paid little attention to individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDDs). This lack of attention is problematic due to the fact that the consumption of visualization relies on a significant number of cognitive processes, including the ability to read and process language and retain information, and these processes often operate differently for IDD individuals. We argue that visualization should be used to communicate with and by IDD populations, who are currently unsupported. We identify three elements of visualization design that may improve how people with IDDs communicate with data based on prior efforts and empirical findings to examine the influences of chart types, data continuity, and chart embellishments on this communication. In doing so, we hope to bridge the gap between IDD individuals and data in support of their self-advocacy and self-determination, and thus recognizing this underserved group in the conversational visualization design space.
