Capture, Visualization and Interaction with Temporal Data

The ReActivity project focuses on the fundamental problem of how to capture researchers' work processes in a form that enables them to observe their past and current activity, to reflect upon it and to improve their own future activity.

Our goals are to identify appropriate levels of data capture and to create sophisticated tools for logging and storing records of user activity, including their interactions with the physical world and across computer platforms.
We are also interested in developing efficient algorithms for visualizing the resulting multi-media temporal data and in developing interactive applications that allow scientists to explore, reuse and improve successful strategies.
We use participatory design to identify real-world work patterns and needs and we evaluate our work via benchmarks and field tests with practicing scientists.
