Communication through line graphs: Graphical cues, gestures and haptic line graphs

Statistical line graphs are widely used in daily-life communication settings, including newspapers, research reports and scientific articles. Human communication through line graphs involves the contribution of multiple sensory modalities, such as vision, audio, gesture and haptics, as well as multiple representations in the same sensory modality, such as graphical entities and language in written form, both are in visual modality. In the first part of the talk, I will present a set of experimental investigations, in which human participants were asked to sketch graphical cues on time-domain line graphs, to verbally describe graphically-cued sketches and to predict verbalized graphs among alternative representations. In the second part of the talk, the plan for future research on haptic line graphs will be presented.
