HTML5 and Visualization on the Web

My Journey to the Kingdom of NIPS

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to visit the strange land of NIPS (Neural Information Processing Systems), a kingdom in the far corners of the West, where the Machine Learners dwell. Some of the noblemen there had invited me so that the locals could get a close-up look at one of us Visualization People at one of their workshops.

Stories Don’t Tell Themselves

Storytelling was a big topic at VisWeek this year: there was a workshop, a panel, and at least one paper about how to tell stories with visualization. One sentence I heard over and over was, “this photo/visualization/illustration tells a great story.” But pictures don’t tell stories, people do. An image, a visualization, data, etc. can only be the material the story is made from. I think it’s going to be important for visualization to understand this fundamental difference.

Blogging BOF at VisWeek

Enrico Bertini and I will host a Birds-of-a-Feather meeting Thursday night on Blogging in Visualization. We will talk about our experiences, answer questions, and hopefully dispel some myths about blogging in science. Whether you’re going or not, I recommend reading the article You Aren’t Blogging Yet?!? in The Scientist. [Read more…] about Blogging BOF at VisWeek

The Theory Guide to VisWeek 2010

VisWeek Wordle

Theory is a big topic at VisWeek this year. You can get through almost the entire conference purely on theory papers. Whether that’s a good idea is another question of course, but here’s a guide how to do it. [Read more…] about The Theory Guide to VisWeek 2010

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is looking to fill three positions related to visualization and visual analytics. If you are interested, see their jobs website for more information and to apply. All positions require the ability to obtain a future security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.

To Those We Lost This Year

Jim Thomas, Dirk Bartz, Jacques Bertin

2010 has not been a kind year for visualization. Three key people who have made a large impact in the field have passed away this year (in decreasing order of age): Jacques Bertin, Jim Thomas, and Dirk Bartz. They will be sorely missed. [Read more…] about To Those We Lost This Year

Visualization Without Pictures

A question that I have been asked a few times recently is: what about visualization for the blind? Would it make sense to provide a textual representation? What about a representation that you can feel and touch, isn’t that a visualization? And is there perhaps more to visualization than just the pictures?
