Abstract
We present an experiment design for comparing multiple 3D vector field visualization methods. Decades of research have produced many visualization methods, but relatively few evaluations have been done to compare the techniques head-tohead for relevant tasks and on relevant data. Results from an effective experiment could not only discover the “best” methods, but also guide future research by helping identify shortcomings in methods and the experiment to perhaps more efficiently advance the state-of-the-art. The contribution of this work is a specific experimental design for comparing 3D vector field visualization methods.
