摘要:

时间轴通常表示在水平线上,这不一定是可视化时间事件序列的最有效方法。然而,很少有实验评估时间轴形状如何影响任务绩效。我们提出了在Amazon Mechanical Turk(n=192)上运行的受控实验的设计和结果,在该实验中,我们评估了时间轴形状如何影响任务完成时间、正确性和用户偏好。我们测试了4种形状(水平线、垂直线、圆形和螺旋形)和3种数据类型(循环、非循环和混合事件序列)的12种组合。我们发现了很好的证据,时间轴形状有意义地影响用户任务完成时间,但不正确,用户有一个强烈的形状偏好。在我们的研究结果的基础上,我们提出了基于用户任务和数据类型创建有效的时间轴可视化的设计准则。本文的免费副本、评估激励和数据以及代码可在https://osf.io/qr5yu/上获得

英文摘要:

Timelines are commonly represented on a horizontal line, which is not necessarily the most effective way to visualize temporal event sequences. However, few experiments have evaluated how timeline shape influences task performance. We present the design and results of a controlled experiment run on Amazon Mechanical Turk (n=192) in which we evaluate how timeline shape affects task completion time, correctness, and user preference. We tested 12 combinations of 4 shapes -- horizontal line, vertical line, circle, and spiral -- and 3 data types -- recurrent, non-recurrent, and mixed event sequences. We found good evidence that timeline shape meaningfully affects user task completion time but not correctness and that users have a strong shape preference. Building on our results, we present design guidelines for creating effective timeline visualizations based on user task and data types.
