The animators’ goals are to convey a sense of the scene’s overall complexity while, at the same time, visually guiding the user through a story of subsequent events embedded in the chaotic environment. Animators use a variety of visual emphasis techniques to guide the observers’ attention through the story, such as highlighting, halos – or by manipulating motion parameters of the scene. In this paper, we investigate the effect of smoothing the motion of contextual scene elements to attract attention to focus elements of the story exhibiting high-frequency motion. We conducted a crowdsourced study with 108 participants observing short animations with two illustrative motion smoothing strategies: geometric smoothing through noise reduction of contextual motion trajectories and visual smoothing through motion blur of context items. We investigated the observers’ ability to follow the story as well as the effect of the techniques on speed perception in a molecular scene. Our results show that moderate motion blur significantly improves users’ ability to follow the story. Geometric motion smoothing is less effective but increases the visual appeal of the animation. However, both techniques also slow down the perceived speed of the animation. We discuss the implications of these results and derive design guidelines for animators of complex dynamic visualizations.", "authors_et_al": false, "substitute": null, "main_image": { "description": null, "filetitle": "teaser", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 1400, "image_height": 1080, "name": "eschner-2023-ims-teaser.png", "type": "image/png", "size": 1527403, "path": "Publication:eschner-2023-ims", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-teaser.png", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-teaser:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "sync_repositum_override": "event,lecturer,location,projects", "repositum_presentation_id": null, "authors": [ 1653, 935, 1110 ], "doi": "10.1111/cgf.14836", "event": "EuroVis 2023", "issn": "1467-8659", "journal": "Computer Graphics Forum", "lecturer": [ 1653 ], "location": "Leipzig, Germany", "number": "3", "open_access": "yes", "pages": "12", "pages_from": "361", "pages_to": "372", "publisher": "WILEY", "volume": "42", "research_areas": [ "BioVis", "IllVis", "Perception" ], "keywords": [ "Empirical studies in visualization", "Animation" ], "weblinks": [ { "href": "https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cgf.14836", "caption": "Computer Graphics Forum", "description": null, "main_file": 0 } ], "files": [ { "description": null, "filetitle": "paper", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "eschner-2023-ims-paper.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "size": 9072344, "path": "Publication:eschner-2023-ims", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-paper.pdf", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-paper:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "teaser", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 1400, "image_height": 1080, "name": "eschner-2023-ims-teaser.png", "type": "image/png", "size": 1527403, "path": "Publication:eschner-2023-ims", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-teaser.png", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-teaser:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "video", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "eschner-2023-ims-video.mp4", "type": "video/mp4", "size": 16270968, "path": "Publication:eschner-2023-ims", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-video.mp4", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-video:thumb{{size}}.png", "video_mp4": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/eschner-2023-ims-video:video.mp4" } ], "projects_workgroups": [ "vis" ], "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2023/eschner-2023-ims/", "__class": "Publication" }, { "id": "kouril-2021-molecumentary", "type_id": "journalpaper", "tu_id": 300120, "repositum_id": "20.500.12708/138523", "title": "Molecumentary: Adaptable Narrated Documentaries Using Molecular Visualization", "date": "2021-11-25", "abstract": "We present a method for producing documentary-style content using real-time scientific visualization. We introduce molecumentaries, i.e., molecular documentaries featuring structural models from molecular biology, created through adaptable methods instead of the rigid traditional production pipeline. Our work is motivated by the rapid evolution of scientific visualization and it potential in science dissemination. Without some form of explanation or guidance, however, novices and lay-persons often find it difficult to gain insights from the visualization itself. We integrate such knowledge using the verbal channel and provide it along an engaging visual presentation. To realize the synthesis of a molecumentary, we provide technical solutions along two major production steps: (1) preparing a story structure and (2) turning the story into a concrete narrative. In the first step, we compile information about the model from heterogeneous sources into a story graph. We combine local knowledge with external sources to complete the story graph and enrich the final result. In the second step, we synthesize a narrative, i.e., story elements presented in sequence, using the story graph. We then traverse the story graph and generate a virtual tour, using automated camera and visualization transitions. We turn texts written by domain experts into verbal representations using text-to-speech functionality and provide them as a commentary.

From a few 2D microscopy scans, we learn statistical properties of various structural aspects, such as the outer membrane shape, spatial properties and distribution characteristics of the macromolecular elements on the membrane. This information is utilized in 3D model construction. Once all imaging evidence is incorporated in the model, additional information can be incorporated by interactively defining rules that spatially characterize the rest of the biological entity, such as mutual interactions among macromolecules, their distances and orientations to other structures. These rules are defined through an intuitive 3D interactive visualization and modeling feedback loop.

In this paper, we propose a scientifically-accurate multi-scale procedural model of microtubule dynamics as a novel application scenario for procedural animation, which cangenerate visualizations of their overall shape, molecular structure, as well as animations of the dynamic behaviour of their growth anddisassembly. The model is spanning from tens of micrometers down to atomic resolution. All the aspects of the model are driven byscientific data. The advantage over a traditional, manual animation approach is that when the underlying data change, for instance dueto new evidence, the model can be recreated immediately. The procedural animation concept is presented in its generic form, withseveral novel extensions, facilitating an easy translation to other domains with emergent multi-scale behavior.", "authors_et_al": false, "substitute": null, "main_image": { "description": null, "filetitle": "image", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 1706, "image_height": 770, "name": "klein_2019_PMP-image.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 953504, "path": "Publication:klein_2019_PMP", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-image.jpg", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-image:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "sync_repositum_override": null, "repositum_presentation_id": null, "authors": [ 1285, 171, 166, 935 ], "cfp": { "name": "Call For Participation.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "error": "0", "size": "356286", "orig_name": "Call For Participation.pdf", "ext": "pdf" }, "date_from": "2019", "date_to": "2019", "doi": "10.1109/TVCG.2019.2934612", "event": "IEEE VIS 2019", "journal": "IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics", "lecturer": [ 1285 ], "number": "1", "pages_from": "622", "pages_to": "632", "volume": "26", "research_areas": [ "BioVis", "IllVis", "Modeling", "Rendering" ], "keywords": [], "weblinks": [], "files": [ { "description": null, "filetitle": "image", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 1706, "image_height": 770, "name": "klein_2019_PMP-image.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 953504, "path": "Publication:klein_2019_PMP", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-image.jpg", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-image:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "paper", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "klein_2019_PMP-paper.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "size": 3283919, "path": "Publication:klein_2019_PMP", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-paper.pdf", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-paper:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "suppl", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "klein_2019_PMP-suppl.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "size": 229898, "path": "Publication:klein_2019_PMP", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-suppl.pdf", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/klein_2019_PMP-suppl:thumb{{size}}.png" } ], "projects_workgroups": [ "vis" ], "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/klein_2019_PMP/", "__class": "Publication" }, { "id": "Miao_2019", "type_id": "journalpaper_notalk", "tu_id": 272339, "repositum_id": null, "title": "Multiscale Molecular Visualization", "date": "2019-01", "abstract": "We provide a high-level survey of multiscale molecular visualization techniques, with a focus on application-domain questions, challenges, and tasks.

It is often addressed through the means of level of detail\nschemes coupled with an appropriate coloring of the visualized structures. Ambient occlusion and shadows are often used to\nimprove the depth perception. However, when used excessively, these techniques are sources of visual clutter themselves. In\nthis paper we present a new approach to screen-space illumination algorithms suitable for use in illustrative visualization. The\nillumination effect can be controlled so that desired levels of semantic scene organization cast shadows while other remain\nflat. This way the illumination design can be parameterized to keep visual clutter, originating from illumination, to a minimum,\nwhile also guiding the user in a multiscale model exploration. We achieve this by selectively applying occlusion shading based\non the inherent semantics of the visualized hierarchically-organized data. The technique is in principle generally applicable\nto any hierarchically organized 3D scene and has been demonstrated on an exemplary scene from integrative structural biology.\n", "authors_et_al": false, "substitute": null, "main_image": { "description": null, "filetitle": "image", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 2120, "image_height": 734, "name": "koch_bernhard_2018-1-image.JPG", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 371526, "path": "Publication:koch_bernhard_2018-1", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-image.JPG", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-image:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "sync_repositum_override": null, "repositum_presentation_id": null, "authors": [ 1604, 1383, 1285, 935, 171 ], "cfp": { "name": "Call for Papers – VCBM 2018.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "error": "0", "size": "179394", "orig_name": "Call for Papers – VCBM 2018.pdf", "ext": "pdf" }, "date_from": "2018-09", "date_to": "2018-09", "journal": "Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine", "research_areas": [], "keywords": [], "weblinks": [], "files": [ { "description": null, "filetitle": "image", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 2120, "image_height": 734, "name": "koch_bernhard_2018-1-image.JPG", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 371526, "path": "Publication:koch_bernhard_2018-1", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-image.JPG", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-image:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "paper", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "koch_bernhard_2018-1-paper.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "size": 9041724, "path": "Publication:koch_bernhard_2018-1", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-paper.pdf", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-paper:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "video", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "koch_bernhard_2018-1-video.mp4", "type": "video/mp4", "size": 76794010, "path": "Publication:koch_bernhard_2018-1", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-video.mp4", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-video:thumb{{size}}.png", "video_mp4": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/koch_bernhard_2018-1-video:video.mp4" } ], "projects_workgroups": [ "vis" ], "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2018/koch_bernhard_2018-1/", "__class": "Publication" }, { "id": "mindek-2017-dsn", "type_id": "journalpaper", "tu_id": null, "repositum_id": null, "title": "Data-Sensitive Visual Navigation", "date": "2017-10", "abstract": "In visualization systems it is often the case that the changes of the input parameters are not proportional to the visual change of the generated output.

However, such animations have to be manually authored in 3D modeling software, a time consuming task that has to be repeated from scratch for every new data set, and requires a high level of expertise in illustration, animation, and biology. We therefore propose metamorphers: a set of operations for defining animation states as well as the transitions to them in the form of re-usable story telling templates. The re-usability is two-fold. Firstly, due to their modular nature, metamorphers can be re-used in different combinations to create a wide range of animations. Secondly, due to their abstract nature, metamorphers can be re-used to re-create an intended animation for a wide range of compatible data sets.

Discoveries and concepts in biology are typically summarized with illustrations assembled manually from the interpretation and application of heterogenous data. The creation of such illustrations is time consuming, which makes it incompatible with frequent updates to the measured data as new discoveries are made. Illustrations are typically non-interactive, and when an illustration is updated, it still has to reach the user. Our system is designed to overcome these three obstacles. It supports the integration of heterogeneous datasets, reflecting the knowledge that is gained from different data sources in biology. After pre-processing the datasets, the system transforms them into visual representations as inspired by scientific illustrations. As opposed to traditional scientific illustration these representations are generated in real-time - they are interactive. The code generating the visualizations can be embedded in various software environments. To demonstrate this, we implemented both a desktop application and a remote-rendering server in which the pipeline is embedded. The remote-rendering server supports multi-threaded rendering and it is able to handle multiple users simultaneously. This scalability to different hardware environments, including multi-GPU setups, makes our system useful for efficient public dissemination of biological discoveries.\n", "authors_et_al": false, "substitute": null, "main_image": { "description": null, "filetitle": "", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "hidden", "image_width": 838, "image_height": 601, "name": "mindek-2017-marion-.png", "type": "image/png", "size": 395582, "path": "Publication:mindek-2017-marion", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-.png", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "sync_repositum_override": null, "repositum_presentation_id": null, "authors": [ 935, 1383, 1072, 1488, 1489, 1379, 166, 171 ], "date_from": "2017-09-29", "date_to": "2017-10-07", "event": "IEEE Vis 2017", "journal": "IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics", "lecturer": [ 935 ], "location": "Phoenix, Arizona", "number": "1", "volume": "24", "research_areas": [ "BioVis", "IllVis", "Rendering" ], "keywords": [ "Biological visualization", "remote rendering", "public dissemination" ], "weblinks": [ { "href": "https://vimeo.com/238851516", "caption": "VIS presentation", "description": null, "main_file": 0 } ], "files": { "1": { "description": null, "filetitle": "Paper", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "mindek-2017-marion-Paper.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "size": 12037780, "path": "Publication:mindek-2017-marion", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-Paper.pdf", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-Paper:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "2": { "description": null, "filetitle": "Preview Movie", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "mindek-2017-marion-Preview Movie.avi", "type": "video/avi", "size": 25593216, "path": "Publication:mindek-2017-marion", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-Preview Movie.avi", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-Preview Movie:thumb{{size}}.png", "video_mp4": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-Preview Movie:video.mp4" }, "3": { "description": null, "filetitle": "Slides", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "mindek-2017-marion-Slides.pptx", "type": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation", "size": 95389205, "path": "Publication:mindek-2017-marion", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/mindek-2017-marion-Slides.pptx", "thumb_image_sizes": [] } }, "projects_workgroups": [ "illvisation" ], "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2017/mindek-2017-marion/", "__class": "Publication" }, { "id": "mindek-xmas-card-2016", "type_id": "xmascard", "tu_id": null, "repositum_id": null, "title": "X-Mas Card 2016", "date": "2016-12", "abstract": "As far as we can tell, the Universe is made of atoms.

Structural biology generates detailed models of viruses or bacteria at different development stages, while the processes that relate one stage to another are often not clear. Similarly, the entire life cycle of a biological entity might be available as a quantitative model, while only one structural model is available. If the relation between two models is specified at a lower level of detail than the actual models themselves, the two models cannot be interpolated correctly. We propose a method that deals with the visualization of incomplete data information in the developmental or evolutionary states of biological mesoscale models, such as viruses or microorganisms. The central tool in our approach is visual abstraction. Instead of directly interpolating between two models that show different states of an organism, we gradually forward transform the models into a level of visual abstraction that matches the level of detail of the modeled relation between them. At this level, the models can be interpolated without conveying false information. After the interpolation to the new state, we apply the inverse transformation to the model’'s original level of abstraction. To show the flexibility of our approach, we demonstrate our method on the basis of molecular data, in particular data of the HIV virion and the mycoplasma bacterium.", "authors_et_al": false, "substitute": null, "main_image": { "description": null, "filetitle": "teaser", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": true, "access": "public", "image_width": 2084, "image_height": 1027, "name": "sorger-2016-fowardabstraction-teaser.png", "type": "image/png", "size": 2349725, "path": "Publication:sorger-2016-fowardabstraction", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2016/sorger-2016-fowardabstraction/sorger-2016-fowardabstraction-teaser.png", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2016/sorger-2016-fowardabstraction/sorger-2016-fowardabstraction-teaser:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "sync_repositum_override": null, "repositum_presentation_id": null, "authors": [ 1072, 935, 1285, 1379, 171 ], "booktitle": "Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine (VCBM)", "editor": "S.

In the first step, clipping objects are placed in the scene, creating a cutaway visualization of the model. During this process, a hierarchical list of stacked bars inform the user about the instance visibility distribution of each individual molecular type in the scene. In the second step, the visibility of each molecular type is fine-tuned through these bars, which at this point act as interactive visibility equalizers.

Hence, input parameters are an important aspect of the visualization process. Their exploration and management are tasks which enable the visualization reusability, portability, and interdisciplinary communication.\n\nWith increasing availability of visualization systems, which are suitable for a great variety of tasks, their complexity increases as well. This usually involves many input parameters necessary for the meaningful visualization of data. Multiple input parameters form parameter spaces which are too large to be explored by brute-force. Knowing the properties of a parameter space is often beneficial for improving data visualization. Therefore, it is important for domain experts utilizing data visualization to have tools for automatic parameter specification and for aiding the manual parameter setting.\n\nIn this thesis, we review existing approaches for parameter-space visualization, exploration, and management. These approaches are used with a great variety of underlying algorithms. We focus on their applicability to visualization algorithms. We propose three methods solving specific problems arising from the fact that the output of a visualization algorithm is an image, which is challenging to process automatically and often needs to be analyzed by a human.\n\nFirst, we propose a method for the exploration of parameter-spaces of visualization algorithms. The method is used to understand effects of combinations of parameters and parts of the internal structure of the visualization algorithms on the final image result. The exploration is carried out by specifying semantics for localized parts of the visualization images in the form of positive and negative examples influenced by a set of input parameters or parts of the visualization algorithm itself. After specifying the localized semantics, global effects of the specified components of the visualization algorithm can be observed. The method itself is independent from the underlying algorithm.\n\nSubsequently, we present a method for managing image-space selections in visualizations and automatically link them with the context in which they were created. The context is described by the values of the visualization parameters influencing the output image. The method contains a mechanism for linking additional views to the selections, allowing the user an effective management of the visualization parameters whose effects are localized to certain areas of the visualizations. We present various applications for the method, as well as an implementation in the form of a library, which is ready to be used in existing visualization systems.\n\nOur third method is designed to integrate dynamic parameters stored during a multiplayer video game session by the individual participating players. For each player, the changing parameter values of the game describe their view of the gameplay. Integrating these multiple views into a single continuous visual narrative provides means for effective summarization of gameplays, useful for entertainment, or even gameplay analysis purposes by semi-professional or professional players. We demonstrate the utility of our approach on an existing video game by producing a gameplay summary of a multiplayer game session. The proposed method opens possibilities for further research in the areas of storytelling, or at a more abstract level, parameter integration for visual computing algorithms.\n", "authors_et_al": false, "substitute": null, "main_image": { "description": null, "filetitle": "", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "image_width": 300, "image_height": 212, "name": "mindek-thesis-.png", "type": "image/png", "size": 22082, "path": "Publication:mindek-thesis", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-.png", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-:thumb{{size}}.png" }, "sync_repositum_override": null, "repositum_presentation_id": null, "authors": [ 935 ], "date_end": "2015-06", "date_start": "2011-10", "reviewer_1": [ 161 ], "reviewer_2": [ 166 ], "rigorosum": "2015-06-30", "supervisor": [ 161 ], "research_areas": [], "keywords": [], "weblinks": [], "files": [ { "description": null, "filetitle": "", "main_file": false, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "image_width": 300, "image_height": 212, "name": "mindek-thesis-.png", "type": "image/png", "size": 22082, "path": "Publication:mindek-thesis", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-.png", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-:thumb{{size}}.png" }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "Defense Slides", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "mindek-thesis-Defense Slides.pptx", "type": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation", "size": 47178838, "path": "Publication:mindek-thesis", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-Defense Slides.pptx", "thumb_image_sizes": [] }, { "description": null, "filetitle": "Dissertation", "main_file": true, "use_in_gallery": false, "access": "public", "name": "mindek-thesis-Dissertation.pdf", "type": "application/pdf", "size": 13757991, "path": "Publication:mindek-thesis", "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-Dissertation.pdf", "thumb_image_sizes": [ 16, 64, 100, 175, 300, 600 ], "thumb_url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/mindek-thesis-Dissertation:thumb{{size}}.png" } ], "projects_workgroups": [ "ViMaL" ], "url": "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2015/mindek-thesis/", "__class": "Publication" }, { "id": "mindek-2014-mcs", "type_id": "journalpaper_notalk", "tu_id": null, "repositum_id": null, "title": "Managing Spatial Selections with Contextual Snapshots", "date": "2014-12", "abstract": "Spatial selections are a ubiquitous concept in visualization.
