Search User Interfaces

Highlighting objects in one part of a visualization causes those same objects to be highlighted in a different view. 

Brushing and linking

Providing an overview of the data, zooming in to pictures, and panning laterally across a view of the data.

Movie camera-style interaction

Sparklines

- Draw the viewer’s attention to the most important part of the display, while shrinking down the less important information.
- e.g: fisheye view: the focus is of normal size but the information around it is miniaturized and distorted, usually with a gaussian function, (not really helpful though).
