We have introduced our interactive information visualization framework on 3D
focusing on comparison and exploration using coordinated multiple views tech-
niques based on the IntelligentBox architecture. The frameworks introduced in
this paper are generic frameworks. They can derive for many explorative appli-
cations. WorldMirror and WorldBottle shown in Section 2 are applied to various
types researches on exploring information spaces [13,14]. TimeSlices are also ap-
plied to various kinds of information with temporal changes such as relationships
between peoples in social media [4] or historical data [5], extracted activities
in social media by using NLP techniques [6], and hyperlink structures on the
Web [7].
The challenges left are applying these frameworks to big data; how to visu-
alize overview of absolutely huge amount of data, and seamlessly move on to
zoom and filter mentioned in Shneiderman's mantra, or how to combine other
analysis processes using such as machine learning to show important part of
dataset mentioned in Keim's visual analytics mantra [9];“Analyze first - show
the important - zoom, filter and analyses further - details on demand.”.
