Physical representations of data have existed for thousands of years. Yet it is now that
advances in digital fabrication, actuated tangible interfaces, and shape-changing displays …

We present an assessment of the state and historic development of evaluation practices as
reported in papers published at the IEEE Visualization conference. Our goal is to reflect on a …

Iteration can help people improve ideas. It can also give rise to fixation, continuously refining
one option without considering others. Does creating and receiving feedback on multiple …

Scientific and technologic developments in the last century facilitate people's lives while also
causing them to face more information. Information design has become much more …

While adopting eco-feedback systems can lead to significant energy savings, in the region of
5–20%, research has shown that the inappropriate use of visualisation patterns and …

Decision-making processes and decision support systems (DSS) have been improved by a
variety of methods originated from several scientific fields, such as information science and …

Every information visualization developer is engaged in a complex process of design–
balancing the three requirements of utility, soundness and attractiveness within given …

If visualization is to be democratized, we need to provide means for non-experts to create
visualizations that allow them to engage directly with datasets. We present constructive …

Prototypes ground group communication and facilitate decision making. However, overly
investing in a single design idea can lead to fixation and impede the collaborative process …

Many well-cited theories for visualization design state that a visual representation should be
optimized for quick and immediate interpretation by a user. Distracting elements like …
