Evaluation of Overcluttering Prevention Techniques for Mobile Devices

The increasing popularity of mobile devices has fostered the development of visualization applications for these devices. However, the reduced screen size and different interaction devices, which people are not familiarized, present some challenges to visualization in a mobile environment. This paper describes how, as a proof of concept, a combination of two different techniques can reduce the over cluttering of icons on a mobile device screen. An evaluation of these techniques is also presented.
