Abstract

Multidimensional visualization, which creates visual presentations for datasets of multiple variables, helps users to gain an insight of represented information from different perspectives. This paper presents a multidimensional information visualization technique called InfoShape that represents multidimensional information as a 3D sphere whose appearance denotes how much the provided information satisfies a pre-defined set of criteria. By comparing spheres representing different multiple information sets, overall content similarities and differences can be quickly captured at a glance by viewers. The InfoShape concept has been evaluated with a case analysis and an empirical study.
