Visualizing Family Engagement in Museum Settings

The purpose of the study is to explore the affordances and limitations of information visualization for analyzing video data of small family groups in museum settings. In this paper, we analyze visitor engagement by visualizing space, time, and group interactions. Using observational video data from a museum exhibit, we designed three visualization techniques: transcript variations, floor plan diagrams, and infographic charts. Using variations of these techniques, we examine each approach's affordances and limitations.     «
