Abstract
As mobile and wearable devices are becoming increasingly powerful, access to personal data is within reach anytime and anywhere. Currently, methods of data exploration while on-the-go and in-situ are, however, often limited to glanceable and micro visualizations, which provide narrow insight. In this article, we introduce the notion of databiting, the act of interacting with personal data to obtain richer insight through lightweight and transient exploration. We focus our discussion on conceptualizing databiting and arguing its potential values. We then discuss five research considerations that we deem important for enabling databiting: contextual factors, interaction modalities, the relationship between databiting and other forms of exploration, personalization, and evaluation challenges. We envision this line of work in databiting could enable people to easily gain meaningful personal insight from their data anytime and anywhere.
