“…Consequently, a brief exposure time could lead to different results in terms of comparing different forms of representation. The dynamic analysis of visual behavior could be carried out using the methods proposed in [96], which, on the other hand, underlines the difficulties to be faced when accounting for the time dimension in ET studies. Through the dynamic analysis of visual behavior, it could be possible to study the speed at which videos and pictures tend to drive participants towards focusing on specific AOIs.…”

The paper offers insights into people’s exploration of creative products shown on a computer screen within the overall task of capturing artifacts’ original features and functions. In particular, the study presented here analyzes the effects of different forms of representations, i.e., static pictures and videos. While the relevance of changing stimuli’s forms of representation is acknowledged in both engineering design and human-computer interaction, scarce attention has been paid to this issue hitherto when creative products are in play. Six creative products have been presented to twenty-eight subjects through either pictures or videos in an Eye-Tracking-supported experiment. The results show that major attention is paid by people to original product features and functional elements when products are displayed by means of videos. This aspect is of paramount importance, as original shapes, parts, or characteristics of creative products might be inconsistent with people’s habits and cast doubts about their rationale and utility. In this sense, videos seemingly emphasize said original elements and likely lead to their explanation/resolution. Overall, the outcomes of the study strengthen the need to match appropriate forms of representation with different design stages in light of the needs for designs’ evaluation and testing user experience.

A Framework to Evaluate Areas of Interest for Sustainable Products and Designs

et al. 2022

Experience and evaluation research on sustainable products’ design is increasingly supported by eye-tracking tools. In particular, many studies have investigated the effect of gazing at or fixating on Areas of Interest on products’ evaluations, and in a number of cases, they have inferred the critical graphical elements leading to the preference of sustainable products. This paper is motivated by the lack of generalizability of the results of these studies, which have predominantly targeted specific products and Areas of Interest. In addition, it has also been overlooked that the observation of some Areas of Interest, despite not specifically targeting sustainable aspects, can lead consumers to prefer or appreciate sustainable products in any case. Furthermore, it has to be noted that sustainable products can be recognized based on their design (shape, material, lack of waste generated) and/or, more diffusedly, information clearly delivered on packaging and in advertising. With reference to the latter, this paper collected and classified Areas of Interest dealt with in past studies, markedly in eco-design and green consumption, and characterized by their potential generalizability. Specifically, the identified classes of Areas of Interest are not peculiar to specific products or economic sectors. These classes were further distinguished into “Content”, i.e., the quality aspect they intend to highlight, and “Form”, i.e., the graphical element used as a form of communication. This framework of Areas of Interest is the major contribution of the paper. Such a framework is needed to study regularities across multiple product categories in terms of how the observation of Areas of Interest leads to product appreciation and value perception. In addition, the potential significant differences between sustainable and commonplace products can be better investigated.

“…The rapid growth of multimedia application needs the development of new visualization techniques for analyzing them from different perspectives. Del Fatto et al [11] present a multimedia analytics application for summarizing and analyzing temporal data captured by eye-tracking experiments, while Koivunen-Niemi [13] proposes the use of temporal visualizations for examining differences in media narrative patterns over time and across publications. In particular, they compare co-occurrences of variables in multimedia content chronologically, which can be more useful in identifying patterns and possible biases in media coverage than simply counting the individual occurrences of those variables independently.…”

We are in the Big Data era, characterized by an increasing amount of information generated everyday by all the phenomena concerning our life. These data are collected by many information sources and systems ranging from IoT sensors, large databases, social networks and interactive platforms, as well as generic media like images, videos and audios. Thus, to be able to comprehend the phenomena underlying this data there is the need of designing effective visualization tools. The papers selected for this special issue outline and evaluate some recent works on multimedia tools for information visualization and interaction with various types of data, including textual documents, graphs, spatio-temporal data, multimedia contents, and musical data. The international conference on information Visualisation (iV), one of the longest running on the subject has open forum philosophy of interdisciplinary drive to define its subject theme and discussion and focus group. This special issue of Multimedia Tools and Applications for Information Visualisation is based on the handful of submissions to the 22 nd International Conference on Information Visualisation (iV18), which was held in Italy in July 2018. The selected papers give examples of techniques, domains and number of case studies to address some issues. The papers presented in this Special Issue investigate different aspects of the theme highlighted above. The first set of papers [1, 2, 12, 16] investigate and evaluate the visualization of spatial, temporal and spatio-temporal data. Almeida et al. [2] consider how and why consideration of Level of Detail (LoD) plays a crucial role in analytics. They propose a Visual Analytics approach-VAST, allows users to simultaneous inspection of phenomenon using different LoDs. VAST demonstrates using LoDs will reveal different prospective and hence portraying different perception of the phenomenon.
