| Abstract | The creation of visualizations can be automated, informed by design principles derived from cognitive research. We describe a collaboration between psychology and computer science to uncover design principles for assembly instructions and instantiate them in algorithms. Participants assembled an object and then constructed diagrammatic instructions; those instructions were first rated and then tested. It was found that effective visualizations contain step-by-step action diagrams with 3-D views that best reveal the assembly actions. The design principles were incorporated into algorithms that generate assembly instructions from object models. The general techniques as well as the specific principles extend to other visual explanations. |
