Design of Glyphs for Uncertain Maritime Data

Through a case study we show how to design a specialized multi-variate glyph in cooperation with domain experts. We take a maritime use case, requiring a mission-independent glyph that visualizes attributes with varying properties. From domain requirements, a design process is started in which a number of design parameters and feasible choices for them are determined. We then determine the best choices effectively and efficiently by showing the glyphs in a sandbox environment and allowing the domain experts to play with the parameters.
