1, Information visualization
Information visualization attempts to provide visual
depictions of very large information spaces．The main information
visualization techniques include brushing and linking, panning and zooming, focus-plus-context,
magic lenses, and the use of animation to retain context and help make occluded
information visible.
2, Tools of computer interface design: windows, menus,
icons, dialog boxes, and so on.
3, Brushing and linking refers to the connecting of two or
more views of the same data, such that a change to the representation in one
view affects the representation in the other views as well.
Panning and zooming refers to the actions of a movie camera
that can scan sideways across a scene (panning) or move in for a close up or
back away to get a wider view (zooming).
Magic lenses are directly manipulable transparent windows
that, when overlapped on some other data type, cause a transformation to be
applied to the underlying data, thus changing its appearance.
4, Important differences for information access interfaces
include relative spatial ability and memory, reasoning abilities, verbal
aptitude, and (potentially) personality differences.
5, Models of Interaction
Most accounts of the information access process assume an
interaction cycle consisting of query specification, receipt and examination of
retrieval results, and then either topping or reformulating the query and
repeating the process until a perfect result set is found.
