End-User Programming of Visualisations
… programming perspective to the authoring of visualisations. Firstly, I investigate through two fieldwork studies how different groups of people work with data visualisations, paying particular attention to the tools they use and the activities they engage in. Informed by the real world …

Measuring comprehension of abstract data visualisations
… environment identifies three primary uses of visualisations: the detection of outliers, the detection of clusters and the detection of trends. This finding, in turn, leads to a formulation of a cognitive account of the visualisation comprehension processes, founded upon established theories of …

Virtual Reality Visualisations for Cyber Security
Cyber security analysts use data visualisations to speed up ingestion of security data. These visualisations typically take the form of 2D graphics displayed on computer monitors. Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to improve these data visualisations using immersive 3D environments. These …

Contributions to Big Geospatial Data Rendering and Visualisations
… system capable of advanced rendering and data visualisations are achievable. We have investigated the combination of big geospatial data, and computer game engines for the creation of a modern geographical information system framework capable of visualising densely populated real-world scenes …

An investigation into the cognitive effects of instructional interface visualisations.
… effects of computer based instructional visualisations with a focus on the interaction of interface dynamism with target knowledge domains and trainee cognitive characteristics. The first part of the methodology involves a series of empirical experiments that incrementally …

Visualisations and interaction gestures : Enhancing the football watching experience via second screen
… This thesis investigates how most common visualisations of certain match-related information on second screen affect the watching experience of football matches on TV. This research also investigates how the most used and newly emerging interaction gestures for the retrieval of …

Using Computer Visualisations to Educate and Communicate Volcanic Hazards to At-Risk Communities
With an increase in the number of people living in proximity to active volcanic centres worldwide, there is a greater need to provide effective and engaging education and outreach programmes to reduce vulnerability and prepare exposed communities for potential future volcanic eruptions. The …

Evaluating interactive network visualisations: a case study using the cell Signalling Visualisation Toolkit
… colour perception in the context of network visualisations and the effect of scene lighting on colour perception were explored. Results show that 2D versions perform better than 3D alternatives. However, users show a preference towards 3D variants. Layout did not affect the user performance, …

Seeing is Believing: Using Visualisations of Medical Disease and Treatment to Improve Patient Adherence
The effective understanding of health information is essential to inform adaptive patient health behaviours, such as adherence to treatment. Despite developments in our understanding of pathological processes and innovative treatments, patient comprehension and health literacy remains problematic. …

Impactful maps and associated visualisations on antimalarial drug resistance for malaria programmes and policymakers
The spread of antimalarial drug resistance threatens global, regional and national malaria elimination efforts. Despite being preventable and treatable, malaria still claims over half a million lives globally, with over 95% of malaria cases and deaths occurring in Africa. Antimalarial drug …

Information visualisation
… the user of the data is also the creator of the visualisations, the turnaround time can therefore become prohibitive. In our experience, existing visualisation applications often lack the flexibility required to easily create information visualisations. These solutions do not provide sufficiently …

Character-Centric Literary Visualisation for Casual Discussion and Analysis
… novels using four different Clover Connections visualisations. A grounded theory analysis of the data produced a theory on how non-experts integrate casual literary visualisations into book discussions. Synthesising findings from both studies yielded a deeper understanding of the casual literary …

A web-based approach for post-processing large ensembles
… new knowledge, and make informed decisions. Data visualisations are a powerful interface between CFD data and humans that can be improved to accelerate CFD ensemble analysis in support of decision making. This thesis presents several visualisation-based techniques to improve this interface, and …

Visualisation of Spatio-Temporal Information on the Flight Deck
… not only static 2D maps, but interactive 3D visualisations of space and time. Through a literature review, two user studies, and an analysis of real-world flight data, this dissertation presents both the results of scientific research and applied industry outcomes when pilots use …
