In this work, we propose a new technique, called the Stereoscopic Filtering
Technique (StFT), based on the stereoscopic highlighting approach. The
proposed technique utilizes the depth cue to filter the large graph
structures. One of the main abilities of our technique is that it isolates
the specific graph portions to magnify them for a detailed exploration
without affecting other visual cues such as color or shape. It offers a
natural way to provide focus+context technique as it brings some parts of the
graph closer to the viewer while keeping the rest in the background. We use
this technique to query about specific topological features about the graph
such as trees, clusters, complete graphs, or unknown graph structures. The
preliminary results show the intuitiveness of the technique's approach.
Moreover, they indicate the opportunities to handle the scalability issues in
querying 2D representations for large graphs.
