Research activities: Overview and implications: In my presentation, I consider the visual analysis of visitors’ trajectories and propose a novel visualization approach in order to analyze their interests. In the experiments, I showed synthesized 36 visitors’ trajectories in a virtual gallery and extracted their interest by our proposed approach. Then, we presented the global information of multiple visitors in our visualization. The visualization shows the interesting degree at a particular item and/or within a specific time and/or in a given area. Both real museums and 3D virtual museums (such as Second Life) can use our visualization to design an effective exhibition.
