“…As height is utilized to encode the data, multiple referents will be stacked to ensure the visualization's height is contained. The number of stacked referents matches the data scale, consistent with real-world immersive data visualization storytelling practices, where items like stacked coffins visually signify data magnitudes [35].…”

“…Referent Layout: We use two layout settings with different integration levels between the referent and visualization, as shown in Figure 1 (left). This followed the classification of layout between visualization and referents proposed by previous studies [14,16,18,34] , as well as real-world practices in immersive storytelling [35]. Specifically, the setting of the referent layout is as follows:…”

“…In the realm of immersive visualization, referents, also known as anchors, are pivotal for providing mental benchmarks that enable intuitive comparisons across data scales [15,35]. This concept differs from "referent" in situated visualization, a physical object that the data refers to [16,18,34].…”

“…Advancements in virtual reality (VR) have led to immersive data experiences that enable the concrete representation of abstract data, aiming for straightforward interpretation, especially in immersive data storytelling. In this context, the reliance on semantic marks leads to the absence of axes or magnitudes, posing challenges in accurately conveying data scales [15,35]. This issue is exacerbated by VR's inherent size distortion, where objects tend to appear smaller [12,13,29], especially at longer ranges [8].…”

Referents are often used to enhance scale perception in immersive visualizations. Common referent designs include the considerations of referent layout (side-by-side vs. in-situ) and referent size (small vs. medium vs. large). This paper introduces a controlled user study to assess how different referent designs affect the efficiency and accuracy of scale perception across different data scales, on the performance of the size-matching task in the virtual environment. Our results reveal that in-situ layouts significantly enhance accuracy and confidence across various data scales, particularly with large referents. Linear regression analyses further confirm that in-situ layouts exhibit greater resilience to changes in data scale. For tasks requiring efficiency, medium-sized referents emerge as the preferred choice. Based on these findings, we offer design guidelines for selecting referent layouts and sizes in immersive visualizations. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in visualization.

“…To ensure a standardized procedure, they carried out the data collection, labeling, and screening process separately. We initiated our study by conducting a comprehensive search for relevant datasets that had been previously released in academic research and other sources, including infographics [5] and data videos [58]. These databases were sourced from reputable sources (e.g., The Washington Post, Reuters) and were of high quality (e.g., winners of Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards).…”

Fig. 1. An example of the AnalogyMate system automatically suggests data analogy for the inputs. The system first suggests data analogies according to the input, then generates corresponding design solutions and visual representations for illustrations. Finally, we show a user-rendered version of one of the analogy designs. Unfamiliar measurements usually hinder readers from grasping the scale of the numerical data, understanding the content, and feeling engaged with the context. To enhance data comprehension and communication, we leverage analogies to bridge the gap between abstract data and familiar measurements. In this work, we first conduct semi-structured interviews with design experts to identify design problems and summarize design considerations. Then, we collect an analogy dataset of 138 cases from various online sources. Based on the collected dataset, we characterize a design space for creating data analogies. Next, we build a prototype system, AnalogyMate, that automatically suggests data analogies, their corresponding design solutions, and generated visual representations powered by generative AI. The study results show the usefulness of AnalogyMate in aiding the creation process of data analogies and the effectiveness of data analogy in enhancing data comprehension and communication.
