Workshop on Aesthetic Data Visualization: Tools & Challenges for
Interaction Designers at NordiCHI 2012
October 14th, 2012, Copenhagen, Denmark
http://datavis.hkjung.com/
Data visualization has been a big interest among interaction designers
thanks to the advances of visualization authoring tools. With the tools
including programming languages, visualization generation websites, and
open source libraries, interaction designers can easily create data
visualization harnessing their prototyping skills and aesthetic
sensibility. However, there still exist some technical and
methodological challenges for interaction designers in jumping into the
scene.
At the workshop, we will discuss new roles of designers in this
interdisciplinary field, and the ways of using and enhancing
visualization tools to support designers. We encourage experts in the
intersection of data visualization and interaction design to share their
experiences in designing interactive visualizations in both industry and
academic contexts.
