semivisually

Semivisually refers to a descriptor of information or data that is partially or incompletely visible, or that can be perceived through a combination of visual and other sensory cues. It suggests a state that is not entirely clear or explicit to the eye, but can be understood or inferred through context, partial observation, or the integration of non-visual information. This term is often used in contexts where full visual data is unavailable or intentionally obscured, requiring the observer to piece together a more complete picture.

In some technical fields, semivisually might describe a system where the user interface provides limited visual feedback, or where elements are designed to be understood through their partial appearance and interaction. For example, a button that is partially faded might indicate it is not currently active, but its shape and placement make its function semivisually apparent. Similarly, in fields like computer vision or sensor fusion, semivisual data might refer to information that is derived from visual inputs but also incorporates data from other sensors, leading to a richer, though not purely visual, understanding of an object or scene. The essence of semivisual is that a complete understanding relies on more than just direct, unadulterated sight.
