VIS 2024 X TUG Watch Parties

In October 2000, at the INFOVIS Conference in Salt Lake City, UT, USA, Stanford University's Chris Stolte and Pat Hanrahan presented on a little research project called Polaris.

Fast forward a few years and INFOVIS became part of VIS, and Polaris, well, it became Tableau.

Researchers across academia, government, and yes, even companies like Tableau, have continued to dig into how to visualize data better. That research is presented at conferences like IEEE VIS every year. This year, we’re hosting virtual VIS X TUG Watch Parties to watch VIS 2024 presentations live and discuss how the research findings can help us data viz better.

We’ll see presentations on how humans group and compare bars in bar charts, the impact of text in interactive dashboards, an update on rainbow colormaps, a little on data visualization literacy, and all sorts of content on Generative AI, Natural Language, and data visualization.

What we learn from these presentations will help us, as data viz practitioners, make better dashboard design decisions, assist the users of our vizzes in their decision making, and better understand what’s on the horizon with AI and data viz.
