Abstract
This paper examines potential interaction aspects related to querying and the display of information in exploratory search scenarios with a particular focus on user state and interactive visualization. Exploratory search refers to a specific type of information seeking that is open-ended, continuous and evolving. The evolving nature of exploratory search also provides the computer with sequential data that can be used to estimate user state and intention as the search unfolds. In this setting, the system supports querying by relying on user’s pointing actions, sequential organization of user interaction and query metadata. The system also adapts the display of information by determining the timing and visual representation. The paper illustrates potential interactions that employ new input modalities such as eye gaze and physiological signals. The paper concludes by discussing the possible functions of interactive visualization regarding querying and the display of information.
