Instruction to play with vlruler
We'd like to figure out how people extend (or carry on) their thoughts when exploring vis to vis. In this light of view, we first started to focus on the cognitive cost of hops between visualization specs, excluding the effect of statistics of data. To achieve this goal, we'd like to collect the decisions of humans when they read the sequences of visualizations.
VLRuler is for collecting those data and analyzing them.
Help us by playing with VLRuler.
Please set your name on the navigation bar. It's on the top of this page. And then, save (or update) it by clicking next button. It's only required once. You can use the name (you typed) in the other devices or browsers and keep continuing to contribute our research.
Doing "Triplet matching" is the easiest way to help us. You can start it through clicking 'Triplet Matching' on the navigation menu. There are three visualizations. First you have to read the top one, reference visualization. Then please choose the left or right one which is more easier to understand. And don't forget to submit by clicking submit button. You can save your time if you use your keyboard. "left/right arrow" key chooses "left/right visualization" respectively, and "space bar" submit the answer.
Daily suggested number of times is unlimited. More is Better :)
You may be bored to do just triplet matching. Then you can suggest or guess the rule, how people compare the visualizations.
Through 'Rules' on the navigation, you can go to a list of rules, and make a new rule. In the list, you can compare rules and their performances. You can try to fix that rules but cannot save if it's not your own. (But you can copy and paste it to making rule page.)
On the 'Making rule' page, you can make your own rules. Your goal is implementing good compare function on the bottom right side. (Please keep the definition of the compare function. The other things are welcomed.) The top right side box could be helpful to know the structure of inputs(ref,left, and right).
The bottom left side shows the list of visualizations, and can see their JSON specs and visualizations by mouseover. This table can be dynamically sorted based on your function. 'Run' button runs your function to all kinds of triplets fixed with the reference visualization. You can changed the reference vis by clicking the id of vis.
Score means how much answers humans made are equal to the output of your function. To make good compare function, you should get high score.
