More Than 63% of IEEE VIS Research Liable to be Retracted?! Ethics Approval Statements Protect Participants (and Researchers!)
Lonni Besançon, Tobias Isenberg
We analyzed the ethics reporting in 255 IEEE VIS papers from 2024 and 2025, as published in TVCG. This analysis arose from our experience as readers and reviewers of IEEE VIS paper…
State of the Art of LLM-Enabled Interaction with Visualization
Mathis Brossier, Tobias Isenberg, Konrad Schönborn +5
We report on a systematic, PRISMA-guided survey of research at the intersection of LLMs and visualization, with a particular focus on visio-verbal interaction -- where verbal and v…
Piloting Planetarium Visualizations with LLMs during Live Events in Science Centers
Mathis Brossier, Mujtaba Fadhil Jawad, Emma Broman +8
We designed and evaluated an AI pilot in a planetarium visualization software, OpenSpace, for public shows in science centers. The piloting role is usually given to a human working…
Opportunities of Touch-Enabled Spherical Displays to support Climate Conversations
Mathis Brossier, Mina Mani, Agathe Malbet +2
We explore how touch-sensitive spherical displays can support climate conversations in museums and science centers. These displays enable intuitive and embodied interaction with co…
MarioChart: Autonomous Tangibles as Active Proxy Interfaces for Embodied Casual Data Exploration
Shaozhang Dai, Kadek Ananta Satriadi, Jim Smiley +3
We introduce the notion of an Active Proxy interface, i.e. tangible models as proxies for physical data referents, supporting interactive exploration of data through active manipul…
Criminator: An Easy-to-Use XR "Crime Animator" for Rapid Reconstruction and Analysis of Dynamic Crime Scenes
Vahid Pooryousef, Lonni Besançon, Maxime Cordeil +4
Law enforcement authorities are increasingly interested in 3D modelling for virtual crime scene reconstruction, enabling offline analysis without the cost and contamination risk of…
Children's Expectations, Engagement, and Evaluation of an LLM-enabled Spherical Visualization Platform in the Classroom
Emelie Fälton, Isabelle Strömstedt, Mathis Brossier +10
We present our first stage results from deploying an LLM-augmented visualization software in a classroom setting to engage primary school children with earth-related datasets. Moti…
Lessons Learnt from Expert-Centred Studies Exploring Opportunities and Challenges for Immersive Forensic Investigation
Vahid Pooryousef, Tim Dwyer, Richard Bassed +2
Research studies involving human participants present challenges, including strict ethical considerations, participant recruitment, costs, and many human factors. While human-compu…
From "Arbitrary Timberland" To "Skyline Charts": Is Visualization At Risk From The Pollution of Scientific Literature?
Lonni Besançon
In this essay, I argue that, while visualization research does not seem to be directly at risk of being corrupted by the current massive wave of polluted research, certain visualiz…
Augmenting a Large Language Model with a Combination of Text and Visual Data for Conversational Visualization of Global Geospatial Data
Omar Mena, Alexandre Kouyoumdjian, Lonni Besançon +3
We present a method for augmenting a Large Language Model (LLM) with a combination of text and visual data to enable accurate question answering in visualization of scientific data…
Detection of metadata manipulations: Finding sneaked references in the scholarly literature
Lonni Besançon, Guillaume Cabanac, Cyril Labbé +4
We report evidence of a new set of sneaked references discovered in the scientific literature. Sneaked references are references registered in the metadata of publications without…
LSDvis: Hallucinatory Data Visualisations in Real World Environments
Ari Kouts, Lonni Besançon, Michael Sedlmair +1
We propose the concept of "LSDvis": the (highly exaggerated) visual blending of situated visualisations and the real-world environment to produce data representations that resemble…
Sneaked references: Cooked reference metadata inflate citation counts
Lonni Besançon, Guillaume Cabanac, Cyril Labbé +1
We report evidence of an undocumented method to manipulate citation counts involving 'sneaked' references. Sneaked references are registered as metadata for scientific articles in…
An Evaluation of Visualization Methods for Population Statistics Based on Choropleth Maps
Lonni Besançon, Matthew Cooper, Anders Ynnerman +1
We evaluate several augmentations to the choropleth map to convey additional information, including glyphs, 3D, cartograms, juxtaposed maps, and shading methods. While choropleth m…
Can visualization alleviate dichotomous thinking? Effects of visual representations on the cliff effect
Jouni Helske, Satu Helske, Matthew Cooper +2
Common reporting styles for statistical results in scientific articles, such as p-values and confidence intervals (CI), have been reported to be prone to dichotomous interpretation…
Preference Between Allocentric and Egocentric 3D Manipulation in a Locally Coupled Configuration
Paul Issartel, Lonni Besançon, Florimond Guéniat +2
We study user preference between allocentric and egocentric 3D manipulation on mobile devices, in a configuration where the motion of the device is applied to an object displayed o…
Usability Comparison of Mouse, Touch and Tangible Inputs for 3D Data Manipulation
Lonni Besançon, Paul Issartel, Mehdi Ammi +1
We evaluate the performance and usability of mouse-based, touch-based, and tangible interaction for manipulating objects in a 3D virtual environment. This comparison is a step towa…
A Tangible Volume for Portable 3D Interaction
Paul Issartel, Lonni Besançon, Tobias Isenberg +1
We present a new approach to achieve tangible object manipulation with a single, fully portable and self-contained device. Our solution is based on the concept of a "tangible volum…
