Embodied Human-Data Interaction
Niklas Elmqvist · 2011
We propose the concept of human-data interaction (HDI) as the human manipulation, analysis, and sensemaking of large, unstructured, and complex datasets. We then proceed to suggest an embodied approach to HDI to build physical reasoning environments for these difficult and polymorphic tasks. We illustrate our approach with two examples: tangible lenses for visual exploration, and an educational computer game with tangible bricks.
