Highlighting techniques are a diverse class of visual communication
techniques that make users aware of salient information in a timely
manner. Any visual effect can potentially be used and manipulated
to create highlighting effects given the right context, which makes
the design space for highlighting techniques broad and rich.
Although highlighting techniques are a common and important part of
user interfaces, there is a lack of understanding about how to
select, apply, andcontrol their effects to achieve the best
results. This monograph lays the foundations for addressing this
knowledge gap and proposes a new framework.The authors review the
current understanding of highlighting techniques, their effects,
and prior methods of measuring those effects. They also review
underlying human factors that affect how users interact with
highlighting techniques. To address the knowledge gap, they present
a new structured design framework - Parametric Control and
Construction of Highlights (PCCH) - for describing highlighting
techniques in a concise and objective way, using parameters to
accurately specify highlighting technique configurations.
