Abstract

Dynamic graphs that represent a great deal of time-series data have become increasingly common these days. Although previous research revealed that blink facilitates visual search tasks by attracting human attention, blink features have not been clearly evident in a dynamic graph reading context. This study examines the effects of blink on the user's affective experience and usability of using a blinking line graph. Additionally, this study describes the empirical experiment setup for investigating the characteristics of task types as a moderator to the relationship between blink and the user's experience. This research aims (1) to theoretically contribute graph comprehension domain by investigating the effects of blink on a graph comprehension process, (2) to design a quantitative experiment and to propose possible hypotheses, and (3) to understand the influence of task types on reading of a blinking graph.
