Evaluation of Parallel Coordinates: Overview, Categorization and Guidelines for Future Research.

The parallel coordinates technique is widely used for the analysis of multivariate data. During recent decades significant research efforts have been devoted to exploring the applicability of the technique and to expand upon it, resulting in a variety of extensions. Of these many research activities, a surprisingly small number concerns user-centred evaluations investigating actual use and usability issues for different tasks, data and domains.

Multi-touch table system for medical visualization: application to orthopedic surgery planning.
