Abstract

We present two novel interfaces for in-field and self-report data collection and analysis of life histories. LifeHistory interface enables direct input of multifaceted longitudinal data via a timeline grid annotated with pictorial representations of landmark events. TrajectoryView is an interactive visualization of life history data for a side-by-side comparison of parameters of an individual’s life history. The two interfaces are intended as an alternative to paper-based tools and methods currently used by qualitative researchers. Beyond a mere automation of data collection and presentation, the interfaces offer enhancements supporting recall of events and visual analysis of data. We expect that the use of LifeHistory and TrajectoryView will simplify data collection and analysis processes, leading to greater accuracy of data and better opportunities for insights.
