Artist Mare Hirsch is driven by data, but it wasn't always that way. After initially studying both classical and jazz guitar, Hirsch gravitated to music composition because it offered more of an authorship role. She scored films and created sound-art ...

Dear readers, as many of you may know, IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (IEEE CG&A) established liaison to some of the most important conferences in the field (e.g., IEEE VIS and IEEE ISMAR). This year, for the first time, selected IEEE CG&A papers—...

Network analytics provides a scientific solution to interact with networks through effective management of network data and corresponding visualization. Network analytics has been considered essential in many research areas as well as in commercial ...

Existing dynamic weighted graph visualization approaches rely on users’ mental comparison to perceive temporal evolution of dynamic weighted graphs, hindering users from effectively analyzing changes across multiple timeslices. We propose DiffSeer, a ...

Bipartite graphs model the relationships between two disjoint sets of entities in several applications and are naturally drawn as 2-layer graph drawings. In such drawings, the two sets of entities (vertices) are placed on two parallel lines (layers), and ...

The Internet of Food (IoF) is an emerging field in smart foodsheds, involving the creation of a knowledge graph (KG) about the environment, agriculture, food, diet, and health. However, the heterogeneity and size of the KG present challenges for ...

Interactive data visualization plays a crucial role in the interpretability of large datasets. Virtual reality offers unique advantages in exploring data, beyond traditional 2-D views. This article presents a set of interaction artifacts designed for ...

Many studies have demonstrated the usefulness of virtual characters in educational settings; however, widespread adoption of such tools is limited by development costs and accessibility. This article describes a novel platform, web automated virtual ...

Urban Search And Rescue (USAR) personnel need to be appropriately trained to effectively operate in post-disaster conditions, as they need to quickly identify locations where the presence of survivors is more likely. Currently, the training procedure for ...

Combining augmented reality (AR) and physicalization offers both opportunities and challenges when representing detailed historical data. In this article, we describe a framework where mobile AR supplements views of 3-D prints of historical locations with ...

On October 21, 2022, the 21st IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2022) was successfully completed in Singapore. ISMAR is the leading international conference in the fields of augmented reality, mixed reality, and virtual ...

Some 15 years ago, Visualization Viewpoints published an influential article titled Rainbow Color Map (Still) Considered Harmful (Borland and Taylor, 2007). The paper argued that the “rainbow colormap’s characteristics of confusing the viewer, obscuring ...

Aesthetics for the visualization of biomolecular structures have evolved over the years according to technological advances, user needs, and modes of dissemination. In this article, we explore the goals, challenges, and solutions that have shaped the ...

With artificial intelligence (AI) poised to transform the nature of creative media, it is especially important to design tools with the creative process in mind. While ample research demonstrates the importance of flow, playfulness, and exploration for ...

“The Origins of Computer Graphics in Europe,” is being published in two parts: Part 1, published in the March/April issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (IEEE CG&A), is subtitled “The Beginnings in Germany”; Part 2, published in this May/June ...
