Supporting Graph Exploration Tasks on Display Walls Using Spatially-Aware Mobile Devices

Graphs are important data structures for relational data. Visual analysis of large data sets can be difficult on common display sizes. In our work, we investigate the promising combination of wallsized high-resolution displays with spatially tracked mobile devices for graph exploration. We contribute concepts that use the mobile device to support selection, present additional information, or apply lens functions. This creates personalized mobile views in front of the large context visualization, enables seamless transitions between focus and context, and therefore provides a rich toolbox for a variety of tasks related to graph analysis.
