SciFi-VIS: Way Out There -- How SciFi and Visualization Influence Each Other
arXiv:2606.24731
Abstract
We propose a hybrid half-day workshop at IEEE VIS 2026, calling for participation from visualization researchers and science fiction creators in order to develop a systematic understanding of the two-way relationship these communities have long shared. We invite submissions of creative formats showcasing connections and inspiring future research. Our workshop plan includes a keynote, lightning talks, brainstorming, cross-community critique, affinity mapping, and discussion around identified themes.
