AVI 2018 Workshop on Multimodal Interaction for Data Visualization

Workshop Overview
Multimodal interaction offers many potential benefits for data 
visualization to help people stay in the flow of their visual analysis 
and presentation. Often, the strengths of one interaction modality can 
offset weaknesses of another. However, existing visualization tools and 
interaction techniques have mostly explored a single input modality such 
as mouse, touch, pen, or more recently, natural language and speech. 
Recent interest in deploying data visualizations on diverse display 
hardware including mobile, AR/VR, and large displays create an urgent 
need to develop natural and fluid interaction techniques that can work 
in these contexts. Multimodal interaction offers strong promise for such 
situations, but its unique challenges for data visualization have yet to 
be deeply investigated.

This workshop will bring together researchers with expertise in 
visualization, interaction design, and natural user interfaces. We aim 
to build a community of multimodal visualization researchers, explore 
synergies and challenges in our research, and establish an agenda for 
research on multimodal interactions for visualization.
