There is a deep connection between humans and water that evokes emotions ranging from the calm of a babbling brook to the terror of a terrible storm. While water features such as fountains are often used architecturally to drive the feeling of a place, ...

This paper presents an interactive technique to explain visual patterns in network visualizations to analysts who do not understand these visualizations and who are learning to read them. Learning a visualization requires mastering its visual grammar and ...

Sketching is a common practice among visualization designers and serves an approachable entry to data visualization for non-experts. However, moving from a sketch to a full fledged data visualization often requires throwing away the original sketch and ...

This production session presents the What, How, and Why of bringing to life the physical installations and data-driven visualizations featured at the Earth Information Center (earth.gov). The session shares with the SIGGRAPH community the challenges of, ...

The ability to represent artworks as stacks of layers is fundamental to modern graphics design, as it allows artists to easily separate visual elements, edit them in isolation, and blend them to achieve rich visual effects. Despite their ubiquity in 2D ...

Virtual reality (VR) offers new opportunities for presenters to use expressive body language to engage their audience. Yet, most VR presentation systems have adopted control mechanisms that mimic those found in face-to-face presentation systems. We ...

The need for frequent and brief practice in deep breathing presents challenges in maintaining motivation and consistency. While persuasive technologies have been shown to improve engagement in therapeutic exercises, there is a lack of insight into ...

Menstrual trackers currently lack the affordances required to help individuals achieve their goals beyond menstrual event predictions and symptom logging. Taking an initial step towards this aspiration, we propose, validate, and refine five functional ...

The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for writing has sparked controversy both among readers and writers. On one hand, writers are concerned that LLMs will deprive them of agency and ownership, and readers are concerned about spending their time on ...

This paper explores a novel approach to communicating plausible space-based temporal variability of travel durations. Digital maps most often only convey single numerical values as the estimated duration for a path and this piece of information does not ...

Timelines are essential for visually communicating chronological narratives and reflecting on the personal and cultural significance of historical events. Existing visualization tools tend to support conventional linear representations, but fail to ...

We present juxtaform, a novel approach to the interactive summarization of large shape collections for conceptual shape design. We conduct a formative study to ascertain design goals for creative shape exploration tools. Motivated by a mathematical ...

Studies on human decision-making focused on humanitarian aid have found that cognitive biases can hinder the fair allocation of resources. However, few HCI and Information Visualization studies have explored ways to overcome those cognitive biases. This ...

There are myriad ways to analyse a dataset. But which one to trust? In the face of such uncertainty, analysts may adopt multiverse analysis: running all reasonable analyses on the dataset. Yet this is cognitively and technically difficult with existing ...

Electronic health records in critical care medicine offer unprecedented opportunities for clinical reasoning and decision making. Paradoxically, these data-rich environments have also resulted in clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) that fit poorly ...

This paper investigates how to make data comics interactive. Data comics are an effective and versatile means for visual communication, leveraging the power of sequential narration and combined textual and visual content, while providing an overview of ...

Exploring the design space of configurations for objects in virtual scenes is a challenge within virtual reality authoring tools due to the lack of visualization capabilities, non-destructive operations, suggestions, and flexibility. This work ...

People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience dyspnea and dyspnea-related distress and anxiety (DDA) upon physical exertion. When performing supervised exercise, measurement of physiological data, such as heart rate (HR) and blood ...

In the context of increasingly busy lives and mobility constraints, we present a unified space-time approach to support flexible personal scheduling. We distill an analysis of the design requirements of interactive space-time scheduling into a single ...

Sketchnoting is a form of visual note taking where people listen to, synthesize, and visualize ideas from a talk or other event using a combination of pictures, diagrams, and text. Little is known about the design space of this kind of visual note ...
