Change Blindness in SPIRE ========================= SPIRE galaxies -------------- Show galaxies of documents clustered by similarity. Can encode age: fading, motion, size, color, shape. Prototype 1: encode age redundantly as line length, direction, colour, AND position (suck towards center as things get older). Prototype 2: vision is foveal, so put new stuff in center, old stuff at edges instead. Final solution: use angle and length for age. Position unchanged. Colour hue chosen by user. ThemeView --------- Show mountains of document space. Want to see new contours and compare to old set. Always know what's coming in or what's going away. Tried: cross fading, morphing, wireframe outlines, transparency. Final: cross fade with wireframe only for new contour. Fade in wireframe; fade wireframe to solid while old solid fades out.
