Motion Enhanced Visualization in Support of Information Fusion

The process known as information fusion faces the extraction and combination of information from multiple, heterogeneous sources to derive information of a new quality or abstraction level. Though parts of this process can be automated it is heavily influenced by user interaction. New approaches in visualization are required to support the user in interacting with constructed information spaces. This paper presents a brief analysis of the possibilities and potentials of enhancing visualization with motion for this task. The reflections are supported by a survey of the requirements and an overview of the general framework of a workbench for
