As cultural institutions are digitizing their artifacts and interlinking their collections, new opportunities emerge to engage with cultural heritage. However, it is the often comprehensive and complex nature of collections that can make it difficult to grasp their distribution and extent across a variety of dimensions. After a brief introduction to the research area of collection visualizations, this paper presents a design study visualizing an aggregated collection from diverse cultural institutions in Germany. We detail our iterative design process leading to prototypical implementations of four stylistically and functionally coordinated visualizations, each one focusing on different facets of the collection.
Over the last few years, data visualization, especially the visualization of spatial data, has become of ever-increasing importance in modern online journalism. While there is a broad range of research projects that focus on developing new methods, techniques, and implementations, empirical analysis of the potential implications of this trend is still rare. In this paper, the potential influence of visualizations in online journalism is in the focus: perceived credibility. The need for such empirical research is emphasized by presenting a preliminary quantitative study that assesses the impact of maps and information visualization on the perceived credibility of online news articles.
The Haptic Body Scale
(2017)
Followers of the Quantified Self movement track, analyze and compare vital and environmental data to optimize themselves. It can be stressful to keep all the measured values under control when pursuing this ambitious way of life. Body weight can be an especially emotional issue for many people and slight differences can be perceived as lack of discipline, although little fluctuations are natural. In this paper, we present a tangible display for body weight, based on floor rigidity. It displays body weight without numbers, which makes it less suitable for comparisons, while still giving the user an idea about their weight. We describe the metaphorical foundations of the concept, as well as the development of two prototypes, which implement the envisioned full-body weighing experience. We demonstrate how the design of a display can influence the users' connotation of data.
