虽然已经有许多原型的可视化支持信息检索，一直很少有系统的评价，区分可视化本身的好处，从各种伴随的功能。目前的研究重点是这样一个评价的NIRVE，一个工具，支持可视化的搜索结果。尽可能地实现了功能等效的3D、2D和文本版本的NIRVE。九个新手和六个专业用户完成了一系列的信息搜索任务的一组检索到的文件。3D可视化的界面成本很高，尽管这些成本随着经验的积累而大幅下降。当工具的属性与任务需求相匹配时，性能最佳;只有在任务，用户和界面的正确组合下，3D可视化才会产生与功能匹配的2D和文本工具相当的性能。
Although there have been many prototypes of visualization in support of information retrieval, there has been little systematic evaluation that distinguishes the benefits of the visualization per se from that of various accompanying features. The current study focuses on such an evaluation of NIRVE, a tool that supports visualization of search results. Insofar as possible, functionally equivalent 3D, 2D, and text versions of NIRVE were implemented. Nine novices and six professional users completed a series of information-seeking tasks on a set of retrieved documents. There were high interface costs for the 3D visualization, although those costs decreased substantially with experience. Performance was best when the tool’s properties matched task demands; only under the right combination of task, user, and interface did 3D visualization result in performance comparable to functionally matched 2D and textual tools.
