GOALS- explore combined geospatial, temporal and abstract info- flexible, interactive graphical environment- requires minimal training- little / no programming
Improvisemultiple views
rapid modification
APPLICATIONS- Visitation patterns in hotel guest registries
APPLICATIONS- Visitation patterns in hotel guest registries
- genealogists & autograph collectors
APPLICATIONS- Visitation patterns in hotel guest registries
- researchers identifying commercial and connectivity patterns

APPLICATIONS- Visitation patterns in hotel guest registries
- researchers identifying commercial and connectivity patterns
- genealogists & autograph collectors
- Intelligence Analysis- Emergency Response Management
IMPROVISE
- collaborative use: domain and visualization experts- web-enabled- “group, select, filter” live, interactively- multiple coordinated views- no programming but complex setups
Improvised Visualization
RESULTS
- circuit length vs occupation- effects of weather- weekends vs. weekdays- groups and associations- successful integration with external info
Successive selection and filtering to find answers

Generate open questions- guests listing horses?
EVALUATION- 3 sets of questions
- results fed into creating successive sets
- usefulness + possible extensions- does if fit design goals?- discussion of answers

- results fed into creating successive sets
- usefulness + possible extensions- does if fit design goals?- discussion of answers
good: create knowledge, find correlation, interactively find hypothesis
bad: expose uncertainty, clarify concrete outcomes,
CONTRIBUTION- Tool Paper - Emphasis: less programming without decrease in complexity
- Loose Classification: Interaction Technique
ACTIONABLE?- Use of tool for hotel registry analysis? Yes- Use of tool for more general analysis? Yes- Improvise as design paradigm? Yes
CONVINCING?- Strong contribution, despite lackluster subject
