Visuäly : Visualizing the Condition of Älynysse Bus

Abstract

We present Visuäly, a set of visualization techniques that enables users to explore historical data of bus conditions. We design and evaluate the prototype, then compare it with the existing system. It is meant to give another perspective and alternative to the system and to increase the value of the existing system environment. We will focus on the visualization technique itself. First, we performed a preliminary survey to assess the existing system. Then, we did four design iterations, each consisted of a moderated remote usability testing session. In addition, we held a survey to compare both systems. We found that participants understand and enjoy interacting with the proposed solution, and also prefer it to the existing system.
