Title :
Navani: Navigating Large-Scale Visualisations with Animated Transitions

Abstract :
When visualising datasets that are too large to be displayed in their entirity, interactive navigation is a common solution. However, instantaneous updates of the visualisation when navigating can result in disruption to the user´s mental map. Animated transitions are one way of addressing this problem. This paper presents the data-model-view-controller (DMVC) architecture for navigation-based interactive systems. Navani, a software framework based on DMVC for supporting animated transitions during navigation, is presented, along with a sample application of it to hierarchical data.
