Abstract [en]

By adding interaction to information visualization, it is possible to fully exploit the opportunities of visualizing data. Interactivity gives room for exploratory analysis and will increase user engagement. This thesis was set out to find opportunities and challenges to increase user engagement and exploratory analysis by transforming a static insights report into an interactive visualization tool. The tool was built as a proof of concept and evaluated using think aloud observations and semi structured interviews. Opportunities that were found was that the tool allowed transparency which increased trust and understanding. The tool also allowed for exploration and therefore provided more information than the static report did. However, the static slides were found to be preferred for presenting insights due to its author-driven narrative. A combination of the static report and the interactive tool were found to be the ultimate solution. Such combination would balance the author-driven story with a reader-driven exploration. 

Abstract [sv]

Genom att lägga till interaktion till informationsvisualisering så går det att utnyttja de möjligheter som ges av att visualisera data. Interaktion ger utrymme för att utforska data och kommer öka engagemanget hos användare. Denna studie fastställdes för att hitta möjligheter och utmaningar för ökat engagemang hos användare och utforskande analys genom att transformera en statisk rapport av insikter till ett interaktivt visualiseringsverktyg. Verktyget byggdes som ett koncepttest and testades genom think aloud-observationer och semistrukturerade intervjuer. De möjligheter som hittades var att verktyget tillät transparens vilket medförde ökad tillit och förståelse för data. Verktyget gav också utrymme för att utforska data och gav därmed mer information än den statiska rapporten. Den statiska rapporten var dock att föredra för att presentera insikter på grund av dess författare-drivna narrativ. En kombination av den statiska rapporten och det interaktiva verktyget visade sig vara den ultimata lösningen. En sådan kombination skulle balansera den författar-drivna berättelsen med det läsar-drivna utforskandet av data.
