Figure 1. Augmenting static visualizations can leverage the best of both physical and digital worlds: a) a data journalism uses an augmented static visualization to extend the space of the newspaper that is limited by the banner; b) a designer uses AR to update the outdated wall-sized timeline without recreating it; c) a tourist overlays the trajectories data on a public map in AR to see his/her moving pattern.
Fig. 1. We investigate the possibility of interacting with printed visualizations in Augmented Reality. Suppose a student receives (a) a leaflet about university ranking and wants to analyze three universities' ranking history of interest. Examples of interactions with (b) digital content overlaid: (c) tilt the paper to rescale the y-axis, (d) move (translate) to zoom (e) unfold to show two charts side by side and link them, (f) point to select elements and highlight them in the other chart.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
