As iPhones, Palm Pre’s, and Blackberry’s take over the world, we find ourselves having to redefine and recreate many of the information visualization and HCI paradigms that have grown over the last decade. A great slide-deck from Luca Chittaro at the University of Udine, Italy talks about important considerations in designing interfaces for mobile devices and shows several examples of both good and bad implementations.
Mobile devices have now powerful graphics capabilities that enable the creation of novel visual interfaces – based on 2D (or even 3D) graphics – to help users on the move in dealing more quickly and easily with larger amounts of information. This tutorial introduces participants to what we can learn (and what we need to adapt) from the field of visualization to build effective visual interfaces on mobile devices. It also introduces future challenges and briefly show how information visualization techniques are useful to create new tools for studying the behaviour of mobile users. No particular background in information visualization is required.
