虽然信息可视化研究人员从数据或任务驱动的角度开发新的可视化仍然是最常见的，但人们越来越有兴趣了解人们为个人使用而创建的可视化类型。作为这个最新方向的一部分，我们研究了一个研究机构的大量白板，在那里人们积极使用文字、图表和各种视觉效果的组合来帮助他们进一步思考。我们的目标是更好地理解视觉效果的本质，这些视觉效果是在头脑风暴、思考、交流和在白板上解决一般问题的过程中自发创建的。我们使用开放编码，访谈和亲和性建模的定性方法来探索可识别和新颖的视觉效果的使用，以及可视化和图形元素与文字，数字和标签之间的相互作用。我们讨论了我们的研究结果对信息可视化设计的潜在影响。
While it is still most common for information visualization researchers to develop new visualizations from a data-or taskdriven perspective, there is growing interest in understanding the types of visualizations people create by themselves for personal use. As part of this recent direction, we have studied a large collection of whiteboards in a research institution, where people make active use of combinations of words, diagrams and various types of visuals to help them further their thought processes. Our goal is to arrive at a better understanding of the nature of visuals that are created spontaneously during brainstorming, thinking, communicating, and general problem solving on whiteboards. We use the qualitative approaches of open coding, interviewing, and affinity diagramming to explore the use of recognizable and novel visuals, and the interplay between visualization and diagrammatic elements with words, numbers and labels. We discuss the potential implications of our findings on information visualization design.
