Sammanfattning
Our data-driven society could benefit from more research focusing on making important
information more engaging and accessible to more people. Both presentation and interactivity
can be helpful in this regard, but it is not obvious how to balance the two.
Furthermore, interactions today depend very much on technologies which continuously
change and evolve, making it hard for designers to keep up. Responding to these challenges,
a research-through-design process was conducted and a functioning web interface
was developed. Relevant theory from various disciplines, such as information visualization
and interface design, was considered and contextualized. Along with a functioning web
interface, the outcome of this project includes important considerations and techniques
helpful for future practitioners. In summary, facilitating engagement in data-driven web
interfaces can benefit from considerations of: technology, an iterative workflow; and utilization
of techniques involving: dynamic queries, direct manipulation, entry points, and
visual narratives.
