Multivariate Visualization of Game Metrics: An Evaluation of Hexbin Maps
summary
Hexbin maps pair hexagonal binning with Wurman Dot glyphs to encode up to four game metrics per region, tested on a Starcraft RTS dataset with five map variants and N = 197 online participants. The system encodes size, inner/outer color and direction arrows; correctness and task time vary strongly with visual encoding and area size. Results show multivariate spatial patterns are readable up to four variables but require careful color and size choices.
