Overview-plus-Detail

From InfoVis:Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Two images are used for presentation. One shows a rough overview of the complete information space and neglects details. The other one shows a small portion of the information space and visualizes details. Both images are either shown sequentially or in parallel.
Overview + detail provides multiple views, with the first being an overview : providing overall patterns to users
[Zhu, Bin et Hsinchun, Chen. 2005, p. 155]


An overview+detail interface design is characterized by the simultaneous display of both an overview and detailed view of an information space, each in a distinct presentation space.
[Cockburn, Karlson and Bederson, 2008]
