Abstract

We conducted an empirical study to better understand colla-borative information visualization. We found that a system that offered fewer options for visualizations yielded more correct responses faster. Groups were more accurate but slower in solving problems than individuals. We identified different stages in visual discovery and found that collaboration benefits are from validating results and not from planning and system use. Tools to help translate and confirm the visualization would be of great benefit.
