Breakout groups Is interaction only useful to visual analytics? Why don t people interact with the NY Times? What makes an interaction good or bad? -Can you think of cases where it might be useful to InfoVis? -Can you postulate why people don t interact with the NY Times visualizations? -What specific things would you measure to learn if an interaction is useful or not? -Can you think of cases where is might be detrimental to visual analytics? -Are static visualizations the answer, or are better / different interactions the answer? -If you were teaching a vis class what guidelines would you give your students regarding interactive visualizations?
