Sens-A-Patch: interactive visualization of label spaces
Jonas Löwgren · Proceedings Fifth International Conference on Information Visualisation · 2002
Sens-A-Patch is an interactive visualization technique based on overlapping clusters on a 2D space. It is intended for long-term use of personal label collections and aims at providing a fluent medium for restructuring and serendipitous discovery. Sens-A-Patch implements the principles of spatial meaning, focus+context and tight coupling in a space-efficient way. It is also shown empirically to be usable for broadcast media, such as Web-site index pages. Further developments in managing social information spaces and collecting implicit relevance feedback are outlined.
