Abstract
A picture is worth a thousand words. To take
advantage of powerful human vision, we generate
visualizations for people to view and to understand the
underlying data. However, these a thousand words do
not necessarily tell the truth about the data. A good
visualization can make the data understanding process
effective, while a bad visualization may hinder the
process, even convey misleading information. To
produce effective visualizations, it is important for us to
have a good understanding of how people actually
perceive and process the visual information. People view
visualizations using their eyes, and tracking their eye
movements can be a useful method for this purpose. In
this talk, I will present a series eye tracking studies on
how people read graphs. These studies demonstrate that:
1) eye tracking is an effective method for gaining insights
into how people read graphs, and 2) how obtained
insights from eye tracking can be used to inform the
design of visualizations.
