Abstract

The onset of large high-resolution display technologies has the potential to offer new opportunities for interactive visual analytics. How can large high-resolution displays help visualization? What new interaction opportunities are afforded? How and why is interacting with such displays fundamentally different than standard desktop displays? How should we design the display systems, visualizations, and interaction techniques to maximize human performance? We will review recent empirical results of experiments on these questions, examine potential design guidelines, and discuss future directions for gigapixel interaction applications and research.
