Investigating human color preferences in the perception of complex three-dimensional structures.
This article describes preliminary results of a investigation that addresses the problem of human color perception in the visual analysis of complex three-dimensional shapes. We built 3D visualization models of synthetic neural cells, and designed two experiments to identify user preferences for color when observing and executing tasks on these 3D models. Though preliminary, the results obtained from these experiments are consistent and indicate that some trends exist that deserve further investigation.
