DeLVE into Earth's Past: A Visualization-Based Exhibit Deployed Across Multiple Museum Contexts
arxiv(2024)
摘要
While previous work has found success in deploying visualizations as museum
exhibits, differences in visitor behaviour across varying museum contexts are
understudied. We present an interactive Deep-time Literacy Visualization
Exhibit (DeLVE) to help museum visitors understand deep time (lengths of
extremely long geological processes) by improving proportional reasoning skills
through comparison of different time periods. DeLVE uses a new visualization
idiom, Connected Multi-Tier Ranges, to visualize curated datasets of past
events across multiple scales of time, relating extreme scales with concrete
scales that have more familiar magnitudes and units. Museum staff at three
separate museums approved the deployment of DeLVE as a digital kiosk, and
devoted time to curating a unique dataset in each of them. We collect data from
two sources, an observational study and system trace logs, yielding evidence of
successfully meeting our requirements. We discuss the importance of context:
similar museum exhibits in different contexts were received very differently by
visitors. We additionally discuss differences in our process from standard
design study methodology which is focused on design studies for data analysis
purposes, rather than for presentation. Supplemental materials are available
