VIS 2025 wrapped! Our OPC team introduced two experiments: student reviewers (20% uptake, successful mentorship model) and public peer reviews (16 papers, 52 reviews on OSF). Both continue next year. Thanks to our IPC and the incredible Petra Specht. #ieeevis 🎢 ieeevis.org/year/2025/bl...
VGTC Visualization Dissertation Award Plaque

🏆 Incredibly honored to receive the 2025 IEEE VGTC Visualization Dissertation Award for my Ph.D. thesis titled "Designing, Developing, and Democratizing Guidance for Visual Analytics."
I accepted this award at the #ieeevis conference last week in Vienna.
Huge thanks to everyone at our #IEEEVIS reviewing panel in Vienna. Grateful to panelists Han-Wei Shen, Michael Sedlmair, Melanie Tory, Helwig Hauser, Bei Wang, Tamara Munzner; and to an engaged audience. Co-organized with @drpi.bsky.social, @nelmqvist.bsky.social & Gunther Weber.
Back from IEEE VIS 2025, feeling inspired & energized. I presented our work on ClAImate, chaired “The VIS for GenAI” session and co-organised a lively panel on "IEEE VIS Reviews", so many thoughtful comments and great audience energy.

👋 That’s a wrap for IEEE VIS 2025! It was an exciting week of discussions and presentations about cutting-edge work on visualization. The conference closed yesterday with a Capstone talk by Theo Deutinger! #ieeevis
Fantastic tour with the Neurath biographer Günther Sandner at the ISOTYPE exhibition "Knowledge for All" at #wienmuseum to take the edge of #ieeevis 2025.

+1 for answering all questions at #IEEEVIS with:
"I'll have a think and tell you tomorrow".
Gentle #IEEEVIS bike ride along the Danube to a winery on CityBikes this afternoon at 2pm.
All welcome, details here : jsndyks.github.io/web/veloClub...
Nice answer from tmrhyne.bsky.social
Paraphrasing (with even more apologies) -
"use a mutable publication medium that sits outside the slow formal peer review structure"
Feels like something fundamental might be happening here #IEEEVIS.
Nice question from Michelle Borkin in Visualization Literacy
at #IEEEVIS.
Paraphrasing (with apologies) -
“you are describing a moving target very effectively and in immense detail: please comment”.
I don’t have a good answer to this quandary.
Help?
And finally "Reflections on the Use of Dashboards in the COVID-19 Pandemic" by Alessio Arleo, Rita Borgo, Jörn Kohlhammer, Roy A. Ruddle, H. Scharlach, Xiaoru Yuan, Melanie Tory, & Daniel Keefe. #ieeevis

Screenshot of a paper titled "An Autoethnography on Visualization Literacy: A Wicked Measurement Problem" by Ge et al. The figure below shows the lifecycle of a visualization literacy assessment, including three stages: Conceptual, Methodlogical, and Operational, with example calls to action.
What makes measuring visualization literacy such a wicked problem? Come hear from this autoethnographic work by vis literacy researchers, including Khoury Vis Lab members Mackenzie Creamer & @birdbassador.jorts.horse.ap.brid.gy. In the Visualization Literacy session, 9:30 - 10:45 AM Fri.

Marcel in a blue hoodie at the podium presenting DashSpace: the slide shows the paper title: “DashSpace: A Live Collaborative Platform for Immersive and Ubiquitous Analytics”.
We’re very pleased to present DashSpace, a web-first live and collaborative platform for immersive analytics using WebXR: github.com/Webstrates/D...
Here is @maski89.bsky.social ready to give the talk at #ieeevis 2025 and @pwsbutcher.bsky.social on deck for a demo.

Johannes at the podium getting ready to give his talk with a title slide showing “Eye of the Beholder: Towards Measuring Visualization Complexity” and the authors: Johannes Ellemose and Niklas Elmqvist.
Here we have Johannes Ellemose giving his #ieeevis 2025 talk on “Eye of the Beholder 🧿: Towards Measuring Visualization Complexity”. Is there something intrinsic about a visualization that can be used to characterize its complexity? Johannes connected several studies to investigate this.
Checking in on the project of modernity and its attempts to tackle its very own challenges multimodally: “Words divide, pictures unite” (Neurath). Panel, exhibition, and tours for 100 years of ISOTYPE at VIS 25. #ieeevis sites.google.com/view/isotype...
Enjoying the plurality of ideas at VIS in Vienna — that’s where the real inspiration is 🥰

I’d love to go back in time and let the authors know that at #IEEEVIS 2025 we are shaping clay with sticks and fiddling around with Lego.
FlexPhys Cookbook is imaginative, empowering and inspiring.
Progressive (in an earthy, plasticky kinda way).
Love it @cperin.bsky.social and co.
Sitting at #IEEEVIS realising that it's nearly 40 years since the McCormick report made the case for investment in high powered computing for visualization so persuasively and importantly (1987).
#IEEEVIS @tnagel.bsky.social WOW!
Thoughtful, creative (practical) design experiments with thoughtful creative (theoretical) explanation experiments that bounce off one another as ideas and experience progress.
Love this kind of paper. Inspiring.
Responsive Visualization Design
@sarahschoettler.com , Jason Dykes, @jwolondon.bsky.social Uta Hinrichs, and Benjamin Bach - View Landscapes as a means of visualizing responsive visualization rules and implications in Constraint-Based Breakpoints at #IEEEVIS bit.ly/47Ly6Qk @ieeevis.bsky.social
I’m happy to participate at #IEEEVIS and meet an incredible community that I truly want to be part of! Great conversations and so much inspiration. My poster explores how generative AI can drive engagement with data visualizations. Here’s me with it 👇
So excited to be presenting our paper at VIS tomorrow! I have so many gorgeous examples and pictures to share from so many people. Overwhelming thanks to everyone who took our survey, and looking forward to continuing the project soon so stay tuned! #ieeevis #datatextiles #DHmakes #datavis

A figure from a Stokes et al. paper illustrating "Replace Mappings" in data visualization, using three example charts where text annotations replace traditional elements like axes and legends.
Learn about the diverse function of text 💬 in visualizations from “An Analysis of Text Functions in Information Visualization” by @chasejstokes.bsky.social, Anjana Arunkumar, Marti A. Hearst, and Lace Padilla, also in From Data to Meaning, 11:15 AM - 12:30 PM! #ieeevis
Three-panel summary of experiments showing how chart-type schemas and directional cues influence expectations and accuracy when interpreting connected scatterplots. The title reads "Shifting Expectations for Encoding Rules Mitigates Misinterpretation of Connected Scatterplots."
Wonder why some charts are so hard to read? @wenxu.bsky.social & Lace Padilla show they could be violating your expectations 💭.
Join the talk 11:15 - 12:30 in From Data to Meaning – you’ll also learn how to design better connected scatterplots! #ieeevis #cognition
