Description
User studies that feature user movement in the real world or in simulated environment
generate datasets, usually in the form of logfiles, that need to be stored,
summarized, processed and represented. Datasets must additionally include metadata
that accounts for experimental conditions. We have developed a class that produces
graphical displays of user travels over a regularly-spaced grid, and a set of
web-controllable database management tools that allow incremental data exploration as
the user experiments progress.
