ExperiScope: An Analysis Tool for Interaction Data

Опубликовано 3 ноября 2016, 0:37

We present ExperiScope, an analytical tool to help
designers and experimenters explore the results of
quantitative evaluations of interaction techniques.
ExperiScope combines a new visualization incorporating
aspects of the KLM and the three-state model with an
interface helping users to rapidly cluster similar patterns of
interactions. The tool makes it easy to identify and compare
key patterns of use encountered during data collection. This
promotes a deeper understanding of the results of a given
evaluation.

We illustrate the advantages of this tool by revisiting the
data collected for an experiment conducted by Hinckley et
al. which compared different mode switching
techniques. Our results show that our tool complements the
previously reported results by offering insights about error
behavior and the impact of mode switching on user
performance.

By providing a more fine-grained analysis of the data
gathered during empirical evaluations, we hope that our
tool will improve researchers’ understanding of existing and
newly developed interaction techniques.
