Studies on augmenting visualization with sound are typically based on the assumption that sound can be complementary and assist in data analysis tasks. While sound promotes a different sense of engagement than vision, we conjecture that by augmenting non-speech audio to a visu ...
Merging sketches for creative design exploration
An evaluation of physical and cognitive operations
VizScribe
A visual analytics approach to understand designer behavior
Co-3Deator
A team-first collaborative 3D design ideation tool
The societal demand for inspiring and engaging science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and preparing our workforce for the emerging creative economy has necessitated developing students’ self-efficacy and understanding of engineering design processes ...
Visual Analytics Tools for Sustainable Lifecycle Design
Current Status, Challenges, and Future Opportunities
The rapid rise in technologies for data collection has created an unmatched opportunity to advance the use of data-rich tools for lifecycle decision-making. However, the usefulness of these technologies is limited by the ability to translate lifecycle data into actionable insi ...
We present an argument for using visual analytics to aid Grounded Theory methodologies in qualitative data analysis. Grounded theory methods involve the inductive analysis of data to generate novel insights and theoretical constructs. Making sense of unstructured text data is ...
Creative collaboration and flow
Validating the use of trace data to measure dynamics of creative flow in collaborative design teams
Collaborative sketching with skWiki
A case study
Sketching for conceptual design has traditionally been performed on paper. Recent computational tools for conceptual design have leveraged the availability of hand-held computing devices and web-based collaborative platforms. Further, digital sketching interfaces have the adde ...
Juxtapoze
Supporting serendipity and creative expression in clipart compositions
SkWiki
A multimedia sketching system for collaborative creativity
We present skWiki, a web application framework for collaborative creativity in digital multimedia projects, including text, hand-drawn sketches, and photographs. skWiki overcomes common drawbacks of existing wiki software by providing a rich viewer/editor architecture for all ...
Automated content analysis software tools have significantly aided in the study of design processes in the recent past. However, they suffer from the lack of domain knowledge and insight that a human expert can provide. In this paper, we adopt the use of text visualization tec ...
Engineering graduates in advancing economies are not only expected to have engineering knowledge, but also use them in creative and innovative ways. The importance of visual thinking has been critical for creativity and innovation in design. However, today's engineering studen ...
The interdisciplinary nature of engineering design and the pervasiveness of electronics in most products has made it necessary for practitioners of "design thinking" to understand electronics and embedded systems, in order to expand their concept exploration space. This poses ...
