Mobile Information Visualisation

scatterplotWhile the potential of mobile information visualization is widely recognized, there is still relatively little research in this area and few practical guidelines for the design of mobile information visualization interfaces. Indeed, it would appear that there is still a general feeling in the interface design community that mobile visualization should be limited to simple operations on smaller datasets. Information visualization research has concentrated thus far on desktop PCs and larger displays while smaller mobile device interfaces have been neglected. This is in spite of their increasing popularity and widespread use. In this paper we address this issue by developing a set of low-level interface design guidelines for mobile information visualization development by considering a basic set of interactions and relating these to mobile device limitations. Our results suggests that the mindful application of existing information visualization techniques can overcome many mobile device limitations and that proper implementation of interaction mechanisms and view transitions are key to effective mobile information visualization.
