Monitors sit on desks, unplugged - hosting layers of Post-It notes or gathering dust as a retro emergency low-light mirror. Visualization is colorful, big, tangible, nosy, interactive, compelling and everywhere. It supports all sorts of creative activity and is key to problem solving in education, science, government and industry. But how? What is your 'imagined future' for visualization? We will be exploring possible visualization scenarios with short but rich scenarios in which designers, practitioners and researchers creatively explore opportunities for 'beyond-the-desktop' visualization. We will be discussing these and using them to develop the community’s perspective on the future of VIS.

Posts from this website will be integrated there as well. After the conference: together with the outcome of the open discussions, the collection of visions will be published in a technical report or summarized in a more prestigious publication (e.g. a visualization viewpoint article) to make it more widely available. We will also explore the opportunity to write a STAR report on beyond-the-desktop visualizations together with interested workshop participants.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal;" /><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal;" /><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">For further details and contact, see: beyond.wallviz.dk</span></p><div>Yvonne Jansen, Petra Isenberg, Jason Dykes, Sheelagh Carpendale, Sriram Subramanian, Daniel Keefe </div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; color: rgb(20, 20, 18); font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </p></div><BR><hr />Message sent via Atmail Open - http://atmail.org/</HTML>
