This project finished in 2011

Research goals

to explore how to capture and visualize user activity
to enable scientists and groups of scientists to reflect upon, interact with and improve their research processes

Our goal is to develop:

Sophisticated strategies for logging activity with bilateral links between on-line and off-line data
Common data formats that interoperate across platforms (PC, Mac, Unix, other equipment)
Innovative techniques to capture events triggered by the user activity, both low-level and high-level while maintaining the relations across levels
Powerful methods for visualising across multiple scales and interacting with the results

ReActivity phases

Log platform and infrastructure for data collection and aggregation
- Create a common format & share experiences
- Apply our own visualisation and interaction tools to the logged data
Visualisation and instrumentation of scientific data logs
- Visualisation of raw data from phase I scaled to month-long or longer logs
- Explore strategies for meaningful sampling of data with smooth interaction and navigation
Mining of desktop data and interactions with visualised activities
- Design highly interactive tools for scientists to understand and interact with their past activities
- Create high-level interactive reflexive views that can be manipulated and reused
