“…Compared to others, this theme is composed of more codes (59), which suggest an importance of people's embodied experience when they interacted with the probes. The distribution of the codes across the probes-haptic: 29, auditory: 27 and visual: 3-suggests that the auditory and haptic probes heighten people's awareness of their body.…”

Research in sonification and physicalization have expanded data representation techniques to include senses beyond the visual. Yet, little is known of how people interpret and make sense of haptic and sonic compared to visual representations. We have conducted two phenomenologically oriented comparative studies (applying the Repertory Grid and the Microphenomenological interview technique) to gather in-depth accounts of people's interpretation and experience of different representational modalities that included auditory, haptic and visual variations . Our findings show a rich characterization of these different representational modalities: our visually oriented representations engage through their familiarity, accuracy and easy interpretation, while our representations that stimulated auditory and haptic interpretation were experienced as more ambiguous, yet stimulated an engaging interpretation of data that involved the whole body. We describe and discuss in detail participants' processes of making sense and generating meaning using the modalities' unique characteristics, individually and as a group. Our research informs future research in the area of multimodal data representations from both a design and methodological perspective.

“…Claes and Vande Moere [22] demonstrated identical displays compared in a public setting and isolated setting and how using a narrative and no narrative lead to a difference in comprehension and ease of use. Valkanova et al demonstrated the impact of citizen-driven data visualization on perception, behavior change, social awareness, and public participation [23].…”

In this position paper, we present the results of an ongoing theoretical investigation into the phenomenon of interactive architecture. Interaction in architecture deals with the meaningful exchange of information and physical acts between building and person. This goes beyond responsive systems like automated doors, shading systems, and so on. Most examples of interactive architecture are technological explorations that probe possibilities and the potential for interaction. In this paper we claim that this is not enough. The notion of interactive architecture is explored through social aspects, user experience, situatedness, and agent-based theory. From this we argue that interactive buildings need comprehensive and consistent styles of interaction rather than a series of isolated and unrelated interaction events. Different people in various contexts require different sets of behavior from an interactive building. These sets are conceptualized as interaction narratives, following the work of Maria Lehman. We argue that such narratives can provide a better fit of the interactive building with the user, and lead to a more profound understanding of such systems.

“…Human-computer interface research into persuasive displays has identified how viscerally clear, legible and playful graphic grammar (Chen et al, 2009;Pearce, 2008;Valkanova, Jorda, & Vande Moere, 2015) enable the public to connect to and comprehend complex data visualizations. Designing visceral and playful glyphs and graphics requires engaging the indexical (Atkin, 2013;Moere & Patel, 2009;Offenhuber & Orkan, 2015) to bridge between the phenomena being mapped and the glyphs being used to represent the conditions.…”

Visualizing water infrastructure with Sankey maps: a case study of mapping the Los Angeles Aqueduct, California

Creating resilience for urban water supply systems requires innovative thematic visualizations of the interface between infrastructure, ecology, and culture to viscerally engage lay audiences in the policy making process. Sankey maps (a hybrid Sankey diagram/flow map) embed the systemic accounting of flows between sources and sinks into a spatial framework. This allows a hierarchy of visual variables to encode environmental conditions and historical data, providing a rich multivariate context supporting public discourse, policy making, and system operations. The article features a Sankey map of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system (California, USA) (not to scale).
