[F]  Interaction: HCI vs InfoViz (Yi et al., 2007) “Foley et al. (1995) define an interaction technique as a way of using a physical input/output device to perform a generic task in a human-computer dialogue. The definition of interaction techniques in the context of Infovis should extend Foley’s definition, however, it was grounded in the general context of HCI. As Ware (2000) identifies via the phrase, “asymmetry in data rates”, the amount of data flowing from Infovis systems to users is far greater than from users to systems. Thus, interaction techniques in Infovis seem more designed for changing and adjusting visual representation than for entering data into systems, which clearly is an important aspect of interaction in HCI. We view interaction techniques in Infovis as the features that provide users with the ability to directly or indirectly manipulate and interpret representations.” J. D. Foley, A. van Dam, S. K.
