Hexbin maps can show multiple variables at the same time using a regular subdivision of the map. Such a regular subdivision has several benefits (e.g., ease of comparison) but sometimes a regular subdivision might not Read more…

Understanding how players navigate through the virtual environment can offer valuable insights for game and level designers to build a robust and polished virtual environment. However, movement data is complex as it unfolds in space and time and visualizing trajectories individually Read more…

Heatmaps use a color-gradient to indicate the numerical values. They can be based on a rectangular grid but in relation to game metrics the continuous form Read more…
