Eine Vielzahl von Funktionen wird heute in einem einzigen Ger{\"a}t integriert. Die so entstehenden Hybriden stellen aus Sicht des Designs jedoch die Frage nach Form und Gestalt des Artefakts. Wegen der kleinen Gr{\"o}ße der mobilen Ger{\"a}te ist es folglich problematisch all diese unterschiedlichen Interfaces auf der Benutzeroberfl{\"a}che zu integrieren. Versucht man diese unterschiedlichen Interfaces zu vereinen, ist das Ergebnis ein un{\"u}bersichtliches, verwirrendes Interface mit eingeschr{\"a}nkter Bedienung. Zudem findet das Interface f{\"u}r die obsolete Desktop-Metapher immer noch Verwendung. Durch den bezug zu real existierenden Arbeitsumgebungen sind Desktop-Systeme zwar einfach zu bedienen und verst{\"a}ndlich, doch k{\"o}nnen sie nicht ausgebaut werden. Problematisch ist vor allem die kleine Gr{\"o}ße der Desktops, um die Desktop-Metapher konvenabel auszuf{\"u}hren.

While data visualizations are widely discussed in online communities and social media, comments tend to be displayed separately from the visualization and we lack ways to relate these discussions back to the content of the visualization, e.g., to situate comments, explain visual patterns, or question assumptions. In our visualization annotation interface, users can designate areas within the visualization. Discursive patinas are made of overlaid visual marks (anchors), attached to textual comments with category labels, likes, and replies. By coloring and styling the anchors, a meta visualization emerges, showing what and where people comment and annotate the visualization. These patinas show regions of heavy discussions, recent commenting activity, and the distribution of questions, suggestions, or personal stories. We ran workshops with 90 students, domain experts, and visualization researchers to study how people use anchors to discuss visualizations and how patinas influence people's understanding of the discussion. Our results show that discursive patinas improve the ability to navigate discussions and guide people to comments that help understand, contextualize, or scrutinize the visualization. We discuss the potential of anchors and patinas to support discursive engagements, including critical readings of visualizations, design feedback, and feminist approaches to data visualization.}, subject = {Annotation}, language = {en} } @article{KauerDoerkBach, author = {Kauer, Tobias and D{\"o}rk, Marian and Bach, Benjamin}, title = {Towards Collective Storytelling}, series = {IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications}, volume = {45}, journal = {IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications}, number = {3}, address = {New York}, organization = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, issn = {0272-1716}, doi = {10.1109/MCG.2025.3547944}, pages = {17 -- 31}, abstract = {This work investigates personal perspectives in visualization annotations as devices for collective data-driven storytelling. Inspired by existing efforts in critical cartography, we show how people share personal memories in a visualization of COVID-19 data and how comments by other visualization readers influence the reading and understanding of visualizations. Analyzing interaction logs, reader surveys, visualization annotations, and interviews, we find that reader annotations help other viewers relate to other people's stories and reflect on their own experiences. Further, we found that annotations embedded directly into the visualization can serve as social traces guiding through a visualization and help readers contextualize their own stories.

There has been considerable research on collaborative sensemaking with visualizations and the personal relation of people with data. Yet, little is known about how public audiences without specific expertise and shared incentives openly express their thoughts, feelings, and insights in response to data visualizations. Motivated by the extensive social exchange around visualizations in online communities, this research examines characteristics and motivations of people's reactions to posts featuring visualizations. Following a Grounded Theory approach, we study 475 reactions from the /r/dataisbeautiful community, identify ten distinguishable reaction types, and consider their contribution to the discourse. A follow-up survey with 168 Reddit users clarified their intentions to react. Our results help understand the role of personal perspectives on data and inform future interfaces that integrate audience reactions into visualizations to foster a public discourse about data.}, subject = {Visualisierung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Krohn, author = {Krohn, Matthias}, title = {Design mit digitalen Medien : das Projekt "Human Touch"}, series = {Images of a conference : Designkonferenz Potsdam ; Konferenz am 23./24.
