Stacking-Based Visualization of Trajectory Attribute Data
Interactive visual exploration of movement data

About
The core of TrajectoryVis is a hybrid 2D/3D visualization. A 2D map serves as a reference for the spatial context, and movement trajectories are visualized either as 2D trajectory lines or as stacked 3D trajectory bands, where attribute values are encoded by color. Time is integrated through appropriate ordering of bands and through a dynamic time lens that feeds temporally aggregated information to a circular time display. TrajectoryVis is equipped with coordinated highlighting and dedicated 3D navigation.Publications
