Optional papers (no review necessary)
- Focus+Context Techniques. Here are some additional
focus+context papers, in addition to the Table Lens paper. Visualizing large trees using the
hyperbolic browser, John Lamping and Ramana Rao, CHI'96. There is an
earlier paper on hyperbolic trees that describes the inspiration for this
technique: A Focus+Context Technique Based on
Hyperbolic Geometry for Visualizing Large Hierarchies, John Lamping,
Ramana Rao, and P. Pirolli, CHI 95. Perspective walls are described in The perspective wall: detail and context
smoothly integrated by Jock Mackinlay, George Robertson, and Stuart
Card, CHI '91. Check out the
Star Tree navigation page (a commercial version of the hyperbolic tree)
at Inxight.
- Data mountain: using spatial memory for
document management by George Robertson, Mary Czerwinski, Kevin Larson,
Daniel C. Robbins, David Thiel, and Maarten van Dantzich, UIST 98. There
is also an MS Word version of the paper available via Mary
Czerwinski's page.

There are a wealth of other books and papers on this topic. A new
collection of papers on information visualization, along with a useful
overview of the field, is Stuart K. Card, Jock Mackinlay, and Ben
Shneiderman, Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to
Think. The books of Edward Tufte: The Visual Display of
Quantitative Information, Envisioning Information, and
Visual Explanations, are classics.
A.J. attended Tufte's seminar "Presenting Data and Information" and
wrote up her notes .
She also wrote up notes on his second book, Envisioning
Information .
