Mixed-Reality Stockholm (2017-2019)

Augmented Reality Stockholm

Funded by 1.7M Kr from the Swedish Tourist Industry's Research and Development Fund, BFUF, Mixed Reality Stockholm explores Context-Aware Augmented Reality Experiences In and Beyond the Museum. To press release.

The aim of this project is to enrich and extend the museum and touring experiences of Stockholm through context-aware augmented reality (AR) media on the mobile devices of visitors and citizens who will consume and produce content both within the halls and around the streets of participating museums and on bus lines that include the museums as destinations.

Participants

Projects:

Together with Medelhavsmuseet with are creating an augmented reality exploring the personal and cultural meaning of the Cypruss Colection of figurines.
Together with Stadsmuseet and Spårvägsmuseet we are exploring augmented reality bus city tours.

 

Prostate Cancer Analysis Tool (2017-2018)

https://www.kth.se/profile/marior/page/prostate-cancer-analysis-tool 

In collaboration with Janssen and Karolinska Division of Urology, we are developing visual analytics tools to support the practices of clinicians, epidemiologists, municipality policy makers and urban planners who make informed decisions regarding prostate cancer, the number one cancer killer of men in Sweden. Together with our Information Visualization 2017 students, we have created three prototypes which we will continue to test and develop in the fall of 2017.

ProstateGeoVis

Demographic prostate cancer data analysis tool. Project in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet Department of Urology and Janssen Sweden.

CAT

Cohort Analysis Tool (CAT) for prostate cancer data. Project in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet Department of Urology and Janssen Sweden.

Zytig

Individual patient prostate cancer data used by caregiver to track treatment. Project in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet Department of Urology and Janssen Sweden.

Scope: In recent years, visualization has reached almost every walk of life. While the value of visualization has been appreciated by most people, the widely-used visual representations remain fundamentally similar to those invented some 300 years ago. When visualization research is leaping ahead with innovative visual designs, we need to find effective means for improving the visualization literacy within the larger population that produces and consumes visual data analysis content as an integral part of the agenda for visualization science and technology. The workshop aims to engage visualization educators and researchers in a discussion where we define and promote a new research agenda focused on understanding and enriching popular visualization literacy. 

As a scholarly subject, visualization literacy is expected to encompass both cognitive aspects (e.g., non-verbal reasoning, and spatial navigation with visual representations) and pedagogical aspects (e.g., learning visual representations, metaphors and languages, educational curricula, and specialized training), and to explore cognitive abilities in visualization evaluation and competency development. We ask the questions: what are the component abilities of visualization literacy? How do we develop these abilities individually and as a whole? How do we measure and track developmental progress of these abilities?  What is the relationship between these abilities and visualization types and tasks? The intended outcome of the workshop is to synthesize the key elements of a discussion revolving around the elements of visualization literacy. Concretely, we will write a position paper with this synthesis as a point of reference for future research in information visualization education and evaluation.
