The area of coordinated and multiple views has been steadily developing maturing over the past fifteen years. Some may say that it is a "solved problem', while others argue we are only just scratching surface subject. Considering merely CMV conference series, clear to see in early years researchers were concerned with models techniques, latter authors presented more work on how apply these ideas different domains. It our view there still much research be done, but subject changing as tool...
Data analysis often involves the comparison of complex objects. With ever increasing amounts and complexity data, demand for systems to help with these comparisons is also growing. Increasingly, information visualization tools support such explicitly, beyond simply allowing a viewer examine each object individually. In this paper, we argue that design visualizations objects can, should, be studied in general, independently what those are. As first step developing general understanding...
Visualization is coming of age. With visual depictions being seamlessly integrated into documents, and data visualization techniques used to understand increasingly large complex datasets, the term "visualization"' becoming in everyday conversations. But we are on a cusp; researchers need develop adapt today's new devices tomorrow's technology. Today, people interact with through mouse. Tomorrow, they'll be touching, swiping, grasping, feeling, hearing, smelling, even tasting data. The next...
Multiple-view visualization (MV) is a layout design technique often employed to help users see large number of data attributes and values in single cohesive representation. Because its generalizability, the MV has been widely adopted by community examine interact with large, complex, high-dimensional data. However, although ubiquitous, there little work categorize analyze MVs order better understand space. As result, no guideline how use effectively. In this paper, we present an in-depth...
There are many different uses for haptics, such as training medical practitioners, teleoperation, or navigation of virtual environments. This review focuses on haptic methods that display data. The hypothesis is devices can be used to present information, and consequently, the user gains quantitative, qualitative, holistic knowledge about presented Not only this useful users who blind partially sighted (who feel line graphs, instance), but also modality alongside other modalities, increase...
Sketching designs has been shown to be a useful way of planning and considering alternative solutions. The use lo-fidelity prototyping, especially paper-based sketching, can save time, money converge better solutions more quickly. However, this design process is often viewed too informal. Consequently users do not know how manage their thoughts ideas (to first think divergently, then finally on suitable solution). We present the Five Design Sheet (FdS) methodology. methodology enables create...
This paper is a call to action for research and discussion on data visualization education. As evolves spreads through our professional personal lives, we need understand how support empower broad diverse community of learners in visualization. Data Visualization dynamic discipline that combines knowledge from different fields, tailored suit audiences contexts, frequently incorporates tacit knowledge. complex nature leads series interrelated challenges Driven by lack consolidated knowledge,...
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities across a broad range of tasks involving question answering and the generation coherent text code. Comprehensively understanding strengths weaknesses LLMs is beneficial for safety, downstream applications improving performance. In this work, we investigate degree to which GPT-4 has acquired factual geographic knowledge capable using interpretative reasoning, especially important that involve data, such as geospatial analysis,...
Abstract Close collaboration with other scientific fields is an important goal for the visualization community. Yet engaging in a can be challenging. The physical sciences, namely astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences and physics, exhibit extensive range of research directions, providing exciting challenges scientists creating ample possibilities collaboration. We present first survey its kind that provides comprehensive view existing work on sciences. introduce novel classification schemes...
Abstract Corpora have given rise to a wide range of lexicographic resources aimed at helping novice users academic English with their writing. This includes vocabulary lists, variety textbooks, and even bespoke dictionary. However, writers may not be familiar these or sufficiently aware the lexical shortcomings emerging texts trigger need use such help in first place. Moreover, who stop writing look up word can distracted from getting ideas down on paper. The ColloCaid project...
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit major shortfalls when interpreting images and, by some measures, have poorer spatial cognition than small children or animals. Despite this, they attain high scores on many popular visual benchmarks, with headroom rapidly eroded an ongoing surge of model progress. To address there is a pressing need for difficult benchmarks that remain relevant longer. We take this idea to its limit introducing ZeroBench-a lightweight reasoning benchmark entirely...
Visualization enables 'seeing the unseen', and provides new insight into underlying data. However, users far too easily believe or rely on a single representation of data; this view may be favourite method, simplest to perform, method that has always been used. A generate misinterpretation information provide situation where user is missing 'richness' data content. By displaying in multiple ways understand through different perspectives, overcome possible misinterpretations perform...
Parallel coordinates is a popular and well-known multivariate data visualization technique. However, one of their inherent limitations has to do with the rendering very large sets. This often causes an overplotting problem goal visual information seeking mantra hampered because cluttered overview non-interactive update rates. In this paper, we propose two novel solutions, namely, angular histograms attribute curves. These techniques are frequency-based approaches large, high-dimensional...
Visualizations are nowadays appearing in popular media and used everyday the workplace. This democratisation of visualization challenges educators to develop effective learning strategies, order train next generation creative specialists. There is high demand for skilled individuals who can analyse a problem, consider alternative designs, new visualizations, be innovative. Our three-stage framework, leads learner through series tasks, each designed different skills necessary coming up with...
The effort for combating the COVID-19 pandemic around world has resulted in a huge amount of data, e.g., from testing, contact tracing, modelling, treatment, vaccine trials, and more. In addition to numerous challenges epidemiology, healthcare, biosciences, social sciences, there been an urgent need develop provide visualisation visual analytics (VIS) capacities support emergency responses under difficult operational conditions. this paper, we report experience group VIS volunteers who have...
Visualization is about discovery and understanding; the user wishes to gain a correct insight into underlying information, explore analyze how different parts are related. Thus, presentation, exploration explanation tools used with manipulation investigative techniques display, discover 'correct dissemination' of information. Moreover, by displaying information simultaneously in multiple ways aided their investigation. Such multiform may be generated through various algorithms; we organize...
We report on an ongoing collaboration between epidemiological modellers and visualization researchers by documenting reflecting upon knowledge constructs-a series of ideas, approaches methods taken from existing research practice-deployed developed to support modelling the COVID-19 pandemic. Structured independent commentary these efforts is synthesized through iterative reflection develop: evidence effectiveness value in this context; open problems which communities may focus; guidance for...
Different acoustic variables such as pitch, volume, timbre and position can be used to represent quantitative, qualitative categorical aspects of the information. Such sonifications are particularly useful for those with visual impairments; they also beneficial in circumstances where representations would impossible use or enrich a graphical realization. We demonstrate methods representing an audible pie chart representation that hearer understands information through equivalent...
By collecting images of heritage assets from members the public and processing them to create 3D-reconstructed models, HeritageTogether project has accomplished digital recording nearly 80 sites across Wales, UK. A large amount data been collected produced in form photographs, 3D maps, condition reports, more. Here we discuss some different methods used realize potential this formats for purposes. The are explored both virtual tangible settings, and—with use a touch table—a combination both....
Abstract We report on an in‐depth corpus linguistic study ‘multiple views’ terminology and word collocation. take a broad interpretation of these terms, explore the meaning diversity their use in visualisation literature. First we senses term (e.g., can mean juxtaposition, many viewport projections or several alternative opinions). Second, investigate popularity frequency occurrences, investigating usage ‘multiple’ ‘view’ multiple views, visualisations, sets). Third, collocations terms that...
