“…However, we argue that speech and mid-air gestures have not been used in combination for immersive analytics in the existing literature. We note that gestures (and even speech) has been used for data-driven storytelling, such as the aforementioned SketchStory [41] as well as the more recent RealityTalk [43] and Hall et al's remote visualization presentation tool based on gestures [27]. Nevertheless, in this paper we show how this can be a powerful modality in mobile AR settings.…”

“…Also referred to as narrative visualization, this work investigates how to combine visualizations with annotations, narrations, and interaction techniques to communicate ideas from and with data. Building from the initial characterization of data-driven storytelling by Segel & Heer [49], more recent work in the space has explored combining comics and data [7,8], accessibility through automatic audio narrations [51], scrollytelling with interactive visualizations [39,53], and techniques for virtual narration of charts [15,30]. This line of research has further extended into data videos that augment visualizations with animations, audio and text narrations, music, and sound effects to elicit engagements with data [4,5,45,50,59].…”

Many long-established, traditional manufacturing businesses are becoming more digital and data-driven to improve their production. These companies are embracing visual analytics in these transitions through their adoption of commercial dashboarding systems. Although a number of studies have looked at the technical challenges of adopting these systems, very few have focused on the socio-technical issues that arise. In this paper, we report on the results of an interview study with 17 participants working in a range of roles at a long-established, traditional manufacturing company as they adopted Microsoft Power BI. The results highlight a number of socio-technical challenges the employees faced, including difficulties in training, using and creating dashboards, and transitioning to a modern digital company. Based on these results, we propose a number of opportunities for both companies and visualization researchers to improve these difficult transitions, as well as opportunities for rethinking how we design dashboarding systems for real-world use.

“…IA has the potential to take this further by allowing presenters to fully immerse users into data-laden virtual environments. I observed two examples of this opportunity being used for this purpose [71,112]. I recommend future research explore the idea of immersive data presentations further.…”

“…This interaction was often used to manipulate the facet and position of visual elements or complete other manipulations that required six degrees of freedom (6DoF) [221,134]. At smaller scales of movement, Gesture 11 interactions involved using hand and finger movements, sometimes used to change facet and position, but also commonly used to affect the local visualization state as well [13,71]. These were also paired with other embodied interactions, i.e., Grab 22 and Rotate 8 for compound manipulations [39].…”

The mediums, the masses, the methods: towards meeting the demands of immersive analytics

Immersive analytics (IA) is a developing sub-domain within the larger fields of information visualization, humancomputer interaction, and extended reality (XR). The focus of IA is to leverage emerging display technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality (VR, AR), to enhance data analysis and information visualization -using their unique affordances for 3D visual encoding, spatial interaction and presentation, and gesture controls. These affordances grant the potential for IA to enhance visualization workflows and tasks beyond what is possible with a 2D display. IA is a young research area, and XR devices, standards, practices, and software are relatively new and rapidly evolving. As a result, IA presents many research opportunities, and IA researchers studying these questions face several challenges. Existing literature has covered several challenges for traditional data visualization on 2D displays. However, data visualizations and their design, methods, and techniques are inherently linked to the mediums used to present them. As a result, traditional methods do not fully translate or encompass the needs of IA and the new medium of XR devices-motivating the need for new domain-specific research.IA demands novel design knowledge for research methods, collaboration modalities, and visualization design. This demand ultimately stems from the XR medium IA seeks to leverage and its relationship with what it can display, how visualizations are designed, and how users utilize it. Meeting the demand for this design knowledge is constrained by the vast and nascent nature of the IA design space, the difficulty of conducting IA design studies, the challenges of remote and collaborative XR user studies, and the complications of disparate display technologies. The work presented in this dissertation seeks to meet these demands and overcome these constraints. I do this through research contributing review analysis of the IA design space, design study methodology, remote user study methodology, and cross-virtually analytics collaboration. These works contribute new domain-specific knowledge, replicated results of real-life studies in VR, qualitative analysis of cross-platform collaborative IA, and a systematic review and analysis of the state-of-the-art in IA research. Through these contributions, this dissertation works towards meeting the demands of IA, allowing future research to be conducted more effectively and efficiently.iii AcknowledgementsIt is difficult to know where to begin acknowledging and thanking the countless people who made this dissertation possible. It's harder still knowing that the following words alone can never convey my gratitude to all. This dissertation is dedicated to all of you. It is a testament to the fact that it takes a village to raise a researcher and that we really stand on the shoulders of giants. I consider myself deeply lucky and privileged to have even had the opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. in computer science in the first place. I am deeply grateful for my early academic advisors, ...
