I would like to invite you to participate in a user study about the effectiveness of data visualization and interaction techniques on different tasks, such as filtering data, sorting data, and determining ranges. The techniques used in this study were designed
for specific tasks, but we are investigating what effects these techniques have on other tasks as well. Understanding the effects of these techniques on other tasks will allow us to better understand the advantages or disadvantages in using those techniques
when designing a new interactive visualization that supports a variety of tasks.</div>
