Abstract
A challenge for human-computer interaction researchers and user interface designers is to construct information technologies that support creativity. This can be attained if designers build an adequate understanding of creative processes. This chapter describes a model of creativity, the four-phase genex framework for generating excellence: (1) collect—learn from previous works stored in digital libraries and the Web, (2) relate—consult with peers and mentors at early, middle, and late stages, (3) create—explore, compose, discover, and evaluate possible solutions, and (4) donate—disseminate the results and contribute to the digital libraries and the Web. Within this integrated framework, there are eight activities that require human-computer interaction research and advanced user interface design. The chapter focuses on the techniques of information visualization that support creative work by enabling users to find relevant information resources, identify desired items in a set, or discover patterns in a collection. It describes information visualization methods and proposes five questions for future—generality, integration, perceptual foundations, cognitive principles, and collaboration.
