This thesis examines the usage of and attitudes toward data visualization and analytic tools in three genres of online games. Using an online survey, this research analyzes responses from participants regarding their play habits and attitudes online. Several scales are generated identifying different player demographics such as emotional attitudes, competitive attitudes, technological attitudes, spectator involvement, and overall attitudes toward information customization. In addition, several genre specific scales are created for massive multiplayer online games (MMO), real time strategy (RTS) and first person shooting (FPS) games. This research concludes that competitive attitudes are moderately correlated with information customization and implementation of data visualization tools. Additionally, the relationship between the usage of data visualization tools are strongest with the MMO genre compared to the RTS or FPS genres. In addition, my research shows a strong preference between the responses for the usage of data visualization tools amongst those who report higher levels of spectator involvement with online games. Finally, my research concludes that there is a strong relationship between the amount of time players spend playing online games and the attitudes toward and usage of data visualization tools. / text

Transportation projects often involve communication of project information between diverse parties and have been a challenge with increasing complexity. Communication, review and feedback are very important for planners, builders/developers and traffic engineers for successful project execution. Past research was successful in finding effective ways to communicate to stakeholders and improve project performance. 3D/4D CAD modeling has been one among them which offers potential benefits from planning to construction phase owing to its wide range of capabilities. However, there is no single tool to analyze traffic conditions and changing geometry during construction for reviewing and better decision-making. A methodology to use DTA models as a source for traffic information and development of traffic visualization during construction with microsimulation output is discussed in this thesis. The benefits of adding traffic information to 3D/4D CAD models and some potential areas of application are explored. Two case studies on TxDOT transportation construction projects are considered to explain the modeling and analysis for better understanding of different phases of the projects. Also, a small construction scenario was analyzed to validate the traffic data generated from DTA models for their use as an input to microsimulation models. / text
