Outline Narrative
visualization is an emerging genre focused on the effective communication of
complex data to an audience using visualization, in a way that is both
engaging and that promotes the sharing of insights. This genre of
visualization emphasizes the communicative intent of visualization and its
popularity is rising among different audiences but specially when used in
journalism. Using narrative elements in visualizations often help create a
structured interpretation path that usually does not exist in traditional
information visualization. Moreover, these narrative driven visualizations
can exist independently, without the need of other supportive means of
storytelling, being able to get the point across easily and in sufficient
detail for the audience to clearly understand. The
Narrative Visualization symposium will be focused on the review of current
state-of-the-art developments and the outline future directions for research
and practice around storytelling using visualization. The goal is to
highlight examples of effective use of storytelling in visualization,
approach issues such as interactivity and visual metaphors, identify adequate
tools in the area, and to identify areas for further research. The
scope of the NVis symposium will cover all aspects
of Narrative Visualization and of telling stories with data, which includes
many different issues such as: ·
How does visualization support telling a
story with data? ·
Which are the best techniques to tell
stories in a more visual way? ·
Which elements have to be present in order
to have an effective storytelling? ·
Which elements of traditional storytelling
can be embedded in data-driven visualization? ·
How do we balance the narrative flow without
disturbing the experience of discovery? ·
What elements of design, patterns, and types
of interactivity help us to better tell these storydriven
visualizations? ·
What is the correct balance between
narrative and visualization? ·
How does interactivity help storytelling in
visualization? ·
Which visual metaphors support storytelling
in visualization? ·
What requirements do authors have for
creating these visualizations? ·
Which types of visualizations appeal to the
public? Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to) the following areas: ·
Narrative Visualization Theory:
methodologies and typologies ·
Narrative Visualization in Practice:
techniques, methodologies, and case studies (in ·
Journalism, Business, Marketing, Design,
Art, etc.) ·
Tools for Storytelling ·
