Emerging Topics in Data Visualisation and Immersive Analytics

Tim will give a brief overview of interesting new directions in research in Data Visualisation (generally making visual representations of complex data and information) and Immersive Analytics (the use of emerging immersive and embodied display and interaction technologies to enable exploration of data). Particular topics we will introduce include visualisation of narratives extracted from text using large-language models as well as mixed-reality (MR) support for insitu data analytics and automation in workplaces with complex physical constraints, such as construction site safety inspections and cause of death investigations including autopsy and crime-scene investigation. [Spoiler alert] MR brings rich digital information to workplaces and tasks where previously data analytics was impossible to access in real-time and advances in visualisation and human-centred AI are key to in-situ decision support.
