Integrating Field and Systemic Data in a Visualisation for collaboration

 

Principal Investigator - Dr Matthew Chalmers (matthew@dcs.gla.ac.uk)

Start Date -April 2006

Duration - 12 months

Location - University of Glasgow

Website - http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~morrisaj/Replayer.html

Replayer is being developed to support the understanding and development of mobile technology. It can be used by computer scientists, social scientists, or interdisciplinary groups engaged in studies into the use of mobile technology. Logged systemic data, video and audio recordings can be examined, as can textual notes recorded, either in synchrony with the trial or post hoc. Mixing quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques, Replayer is a powerful tool for examining data recorded about a system, providing many different techniques for synchronising, visualising and understanding the data. Each visualisation component is linked to every other to support brushing: any selection made in one immediately makes a corresponding selection in another. For example, we may have a graph showing all the system events for a given participant on a timeline, and a map showing a spatial distribution of those events. Selecting one event on the timeline would highlight the location on the map at which the event occurred. This is also applied to video data 每 selecting the event on the timeline would also show any video captured at that time by each camera, jumping to exactly the correct frame in each recording. Similarly, when playing back video, the display of corresponding quantitative data is done in synchrony, to give a complementary interpretation of the observed setting.
