ABSTRACT
We present ArtVis, an application combining advanced visualisation techniques and tangible interaction to explore a large digital collection of almost 28 000 European artworks managed by the Web Gallery of Art. In order to get new insights by exploring, analysing and browsing the artworks, our graphical ArtVis user interface offers three complementary but synchronised visualisation components. We further developed a tangible ArtVis user interface for the playful exploration and seamless integration of the digital artwork collection with physical artefacts. A formative evaluation of the ArtVis prototype revealed that users are able to answer relatively difficult questions as well as get some new insights based on the vast amount of data. A second user evaluation of the tangible ArtVis interface has shown that this sort of physical interaction attracts users and stimulates them to further explore the digital artwork collection.

artVIS: an interactive visualization for painting collections
VINCI '17: Proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and InteractionPainting galleries typically provide a wealth of data composed of several data types. Those multivariate data are too complex for laymen like museum visitors to first, get an overview about all paintings and to look for specific categories. Finally, the ...
Comparing Tangible and Multi-touch Interaction for Interactive Data Visualization Tasks
TEI '16: Proceedings of the TEI '16: Tenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionInteractive visualization plays a key role in the analysis of large datasets. It can help users to explore data, investigate hypotheses and find patterns. The easier and more tangible the interaction, the more likely it is to enhance understanding. This ...
