Interactive Parallel Coordinates for Collaborative Intelligence Analysis

Jeff Wilson, Judith M. Brown, Robert Biddle

Abstract

Large multitouch surfaces are useful platforms for co-located collaborative analysis work, and we have been exploring their use for intelligence analysis. We produced a large multitouch surface prototype to support an intelligence analysis technique called Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH). One challenge was exploration of multi-dimensional data, and we used a parallel-coordinates visualization. In this paper we present our exploration of the issues that arose in applying this visualization in the context of our multitouch collaborative tool.
