EuroVis STAR & Panel: Integrating Sonification and Visualization – But Why?
by Rind Alexander 07 May '24

07 May '24

# Call for position statements, hypotheses, and thoughts. # https://forms.office.com/e/zPQNm8kMdV (less than 2 minutes) Dear colleagues, The research communities studying visualization and sonification share exceptionally similar goals: They aim to make data interpretable to humans. At the EuroVis conference in Odense on May 27-31, two sessions will focus on the *integration of visualization and sonification* into one form of audio-visual data display: * A State-of-the-Art Report (https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.16558) will present existing work on Wednesday morning (*). * A Panel session (https://arind.students.fhstp.ac.at/Rind_et_al_2024_Panel.pdf) will discuss opportunities for future work on Thursday afternoon (*). During our panel, we wish to present position statements from both communities that rarely have the opportunity to meet and hear from each other. We kindly ask you to support us with your thoughts, hypotheses, and statements regarding the integration of sonification and visualization. Please read more about our thoughts on different motivations and respond via the textbox here (less than 2 minutes): https://forms.office.com/e/zPQNm8kMdV Best, Alexander Rind (on behalf of our coauthors) (*) tentative schedule, timings are subject to change _________________________________________________ Dipl.-Ing.

CFP: Map-based Interfaces and Interactions, for a Spacial Issue of IxD&A
by Masood Masoodian 04 May '24

04 May '24

* * *CFP: Map-based interfaces and interactions** **A special issue of IxD&A https://ixdea.org/map-based-interfaces-and-interactions/ ---------------------------------------------------* * * *Overview** ------------------------* Maps have been used for centuries to coordinate a wide-range of human activities, to help explorers and armies to chart unknown and foreign lands and seas, to present information, and even to shape our imagination of the past and vision of the future. In our modern digital world, the role of maps has increased many folds, and maps in their various forms have become an underlying platform for countless tools, applications, visualizations, games, and other interactive systems, interfaces, and modes of interaction. Despite this increasing importance, and perhaps due to its transdisciplinary nature, research on map design, development, evaluation, and use is currently dispersed across many different disciplines and their specific publications, with hardly any of them focusing on maps as a basis for interfaces and interactions.This special issue aims to highlight the role of maps as a physical, theoretical, and metaphorical framework for interaction design and architecture. It provides a forum for the presentation of different perspectives in this emerging research area. * * *Topics of Interest** ------------------------* This special issue focuses on research related to the development of novel future map-based designs in different fields, including interaction design, user interface design, visualization, visual design, geographical information systems and cartography. The topics of interests include the following, as well as any other related topic: - Design of map-based interfaces and interactions - Theories, principles and practices of map-based interfaces and interactions - User evaluations of map-based interfaces and interactions - Applications of map-based interfaces and interactions - Reviews of research on map-based interfaces and interaction * * *Submission procedure ** ------------------------* Prospective participants are invited to submit a 8-30 pages paper (including authors’ information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.). All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. The manuscripts should be submitted anonymized either in .doc or in .pdf format. The paper should be written according to the IxD&A authors’ guidelines (https://ixdea.org/authors-guidelines/) Submission page -> https://ojs.ixdea.org/index.php/ixdea When submitting the paper please choose the section: "SI: Map-based interfaces and interactions" *Important dates ------------------------* Deadline: October 15th, 2024 Notification to the authors: January 15th, 2025 Camera ready paper: February 15th, 2025 Publication of the special issue: March 2025 (tentatively) *Guest Editors** ------------------------* • Masood Masoodian, Aalto University, Finland • Saturnino Luz, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom -- Prof. Masood Masoodian Visual Communication Design Aalto University avcd.aalto.fi
