En utvärdering om huruvida interaktiva visualiseringar kan hjälpa en bryggares data uppfattnings förmåga (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to explore to what extent interactive visualizations are applicable in the beer brewing domain specific area by measuring how the use of interactive visualizations can aid beer brewers in completing tasks related to their artisanal craft. The approach taken in researching said topic was through the cooperative collaborative creation of an interactive visualization dashboard system intended for the use in production brewing. This was created through the aid of previously proposed design frameworks and creation strategies that focused on the collaboration between visualization expert and domain specific partner. A visualization dashboard interface was created with thorough input from different brewers all around the world in the hopes of creating a general purpose tool that could indeed aid in the completion of creation and evaluation tasks. The final dashboard interface was scrutinized by brewers and received positive feedback in terms of its potential through evaluation sessions and personal interviews where the brewers were assigned tasks to complete. The completion of simple tasks such as quick recipe cognition and creation, batch parameter comparisons and fermentation tank analysis were all achieved while things such as variable fermentation analysis and reproduction evaluation strategies were more difficult. The conclusion drawn from the project was that the use of interactive visualizations can indeed aid and enhance beer brewer’s capabilities in completing some tasks but as per the altered frameworks used, it requires thorough collaboration from more than just the domain specific partners in the creation process of said visualizations in order to create the optimal tool.

Abstract [sv]

Avsikten med denna studie är att utforska i vilken grad interaktiva visualiseringar kan tillämpas inom den domänspecifika ölbryggeri-industrin där visualiseringens syfte är att stödja utförandet av bryggningsrelaterade uppgifter. Ett samarbete startades, där ett antal bryggerier runt omkring i världen deltog och där dessa bryggerier delade med sig av sina bryggningsmetoder och relaterade data. Tillsammans med bryggare togs specialdesignade visualiseringsmoduler fram som kan användas för att utföra uppgifter tillsammans med dessa domänspecifika experter. En stor förstudie gjordes med hjälp av existerande utvärderingsramverk samt olika visualiseringsstrategier där fokus lades på samarbetet mellan visualiseringsexperter och ölexperter. Den slutliga visualiseringen som skapades var i form av en instrumentbräda där användaren får en unik insyn i data samt nya möjligheter att utforska datat på ett enkelt och smidigt sätt. Bryggare fick testa verktyget i en kontrollerad miljö och såg stora möjligheter för att ett sådant verktyg skulle kunna fungera bra i en produktionsmiljö förutsatt att man får en grundläggande utbildning i att använda verktyget till sin fulla potential.
