Dynamic queries, starfield displays, and the path to Spotfire
Ben Shneiderman · 2005
The old days of command line interfaces and submitting queries to databases are passing quickly. In their place are dynamic queries and starfield displays that update a two-dimensional graphical display in 100 milliseconds. As users adjust sliders, buttons, check boxes, and other control widgets the starfield display containing colorand size-coded points us updated rapidly. Users feel they are in control and there is no more RUN button.
