The Influence Explorer
•Population of 600 precalculated light bulb designs
•Performances -- Horizontal Histograms to the Left
•Parameters -- Vertical Histograms to the Right

The Prosection MatrixProjection of a section of parameter space
• Alternative Perspective of the same precalculated data
• Scatter plots arranged in a matrix
• Each scatter plot corresponds to a pair of
possible parameter combination
• All combinations {4C2} of 4 parameters
represented

High yield and Wider tolerances
![Page 10: ‘Externalizing Abstract Mathematical Models’ Lisa Tweedie,Robert Spence, Huw Dawkes and Hua Su Department of Electrical Engineering, Imperial College Of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f325503460f94c4db73/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Formative evaluation
• Number of tests at different development stages
• Ten pairs of participants
• Tested first with Influence Explorer then with Prosection Matrix and then with Both
• Each pair could complete a tolerance task in 30 min

Lessons
• Maximize directness of interactivity
• Seek crucial information and give it a
simple and pertinent representation
• Trade off between amount of information,
accuracy and simplicity

Merits
• Initial Qualitative Understanding
• Performance Trade offs known with lesser effort
• Quantitative Detail becomes clear by the color coding.
• Parameter tolerance ranges defined with ease

Demerits
• Specific Requirements are hard to be visualized by color coded points
• Hard to use without proper training
• Designer’s experience is not enhanced
