MobileAct is an interactive visualization tool that enables users to create their own visualizations and integrate visualized information into their daily tasks. It provides a novel interaction mechanism in which the mobile, one of the most well-known kinetic art forms, is used as an interactive visualization. The mobile structure transparently presents contextually relevant, balanced, and user-specific information through its key features, connectivity, and equilibrium. MobileAct's connected frame allows for visualization of hierarchical or relative information. Users can set structures and balancing factors of their data components based on their importance or frequency level. Using its balancing and scalable capabilities, users can obtain reflective feedback regarding their data patterns. The applications of MobileAct are designed and presented to describe its implementation details. Lastly, this paper suggests how MobileAct can be improved and how its design pattern will benefit future interactive visualizations.
