Abstract Information Visualization in Interactive 3D Virtual Environments:
Conceptualization and Usability Evaluation
/
Bazargan-Harandi, Kaveh
2011-03-14
Keywords: Human Computer Interaction -- Interactive 3D Virtual Environment -- Abstract
Information Visualization -- Usability Evaluation Methodology -- Presence
Doctoral Thesis: Université Genève, 2011, no. SES 747, Edition SES
resticted access for 11 months
Summary: Abstract information refers to information that a user can't directly obtain
just by visualizing the spatial information of objects in a 3D virtual
environment (3DVE). This thesis first reviews the state of the art on
interactive 3DVEs development, abstract information visualization techniques
and the evaluation of interactive 3DVEs. Then, this thesis presents a
conceptual model, reusable toolkit and usability evaluation methodology for
comparing the usability of different abstract information visualization
techniques. In order to control the navigation skill variable, the design of a
constrained navigation approach for teleporting the user from one user context
to another is proposed. Finally, this thesis presents case studies for
validating the proposed conceptual model, toolkit and usability evaluation
methodology by performing usability testing experiments. The contributions of
this thesis are a conceptual model, reusable toolkit and usability evaluation
methodology for measuring and comparing the usability of abstract information
visualization techniques in interactive 3DVEs.

Introduction
Letting accessibility evaluation tools test themselves
Letting them test each other
Observations
Comments
Summary: Automated web accessibility evaluation tools are hard to trust, understand
and only provides feedback on a small amount of factors that influence
accessibility. Also, a unified web evaluation methodology should be adopted to
provide consistent results across tools.
