In this course students will work on three assignments. The first assignment is a one-person project, the second is a group project and the third is again a one-person project.

Assignment 1

Evaluate/critique an existing WWW (or other information space) visualization tool or approach, commenting on how well the visualization supports various tasks, how effective its literal or metaphorical images are, its scalability, and evaluating other criteria we will develop in class.

The first assignment is due on April 12.

Assignment 2 (Group project)

Build, install, and evaluate a visual road map to an existing set of WWW pages. The road map could be just a set of Web pages using image maps, a 3D VRML model, or a 2D or 3D map with active elements implemented in Java. This project will normally be done in teams, coupling together students with programming skills and students with design skills.

Term paper

Choose at least 3 papers from our reading list which cover a coherent subject (suggestions for materials not in the list are welcome - talk to one of us). Write a critical discussion of 5-10 pages of the issues raised and discussed in the papers.

The term paper is due on June 5.
