使用虚拟交互式镜头为选定的感兴趣区域提供替代视觉表示的优雅性受到高度重视，特别是在可视化领域。今天，在可视化的更近的背景下已知超过50种透镜技术，在相关领域中更多。在本文中，我们扩展了我们以前的调查交互式镜头的可视化。我们提出了一个定义和概念模型的镜头作为经典的可视化管道的扩展。对文献的广泛回顾涵盖了用于不同类型数据和不同用户任务的透镜技术，还包括用于显示透镜并与它们交互的技术。我们介绍了可视化镜头的分类，并通过详细剖析用于探索大型图形布局的多点触摸透镜来说明其实用性。作为我们审查的结论，我们确定了未来研究中需要解决的挑战和未解决的问题。
The elegance of using virtual interactive lenses to provide alternative visual representations for selected regions of interest is highly valued, especially in the realm of visualization. Today, more than 50 lens techniques are known in the closer context of visualization, far more in related fields. In this paper, we extend our previous survey on interactive lenses for visualization. We propose a definition and a conceptual model of lenses as extensions of the classic visualization pipeline. An extensive review of the literature covers lens techniques for different types of data and different user tasks and also includes the technologies employed to display lenses and to interact with them. We introduce a taxonomy of lenses for visualization and illustrate its utility by dissecting in detail a multi‐touch lens for exploring large graph layouts. As a conclusion of our review, we identify challenges and unsolved problems to be addressed in future research.
