Exploring the Potential of Physical Visualizations Graduate Student Consortium at the 9th International ACM Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI '15), Standford, USA, January 15-19, 2015 (bib) |
Although physical objects have been used for information presentation for a long time, physical visualizations only re- cently started to attract interest in the HCI and InfoVis com- munities. While physical visualizations have the quality to evoke user fascination and curiosity, our understanding of their benefits regarding data exploration and the creation of effective representations are still limited. This paper de- scribes several projects in the area of physical visualizations, all with the goal to explore their potential and limitations. First findings show that a promising direction of physical vi- sualizations is the area of personal data, where they can offer a more creative and mindful way to look and reflect on ones data. |
