This paper contributes to a taxonomy of augmented reality and robotics based on a survey of
460 research papers. Augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) have emerged as a new way to …

Data physicalization is a rich and vast research area that studies the use of physical artifacts
to convey data. It overlaps with a number of research areas including information …

We report on a controlled user study comparing three visualization environments for
common 3D exploration. Our environments differ in how they exploit natural human …

This paper introduces swarm user interfaces, a new class of human-computer interfaces
comprised of many autonomous robots that handle both display and interaction. We …

Shape-changing interfaces have emerged as a new method for interacting with computers,
using dynamic changes in a device's physical shape for input and output. With the advances …

Collaborative visual analytics leverages social interaction to support data exploration and
sensemaking. These processes are typically imagined as formalised, extended activities …

Although physical artifacts that represent data have been used for centuries, the research
field—known as data physicalization—has only recently gained traction. Compared to data …

Internet of things (IoT) devices and sensor kits have the potential to democratize the access,
use, and appropriation of data. Despite the increased availability of low cost sensors, most of …

Tactile maps are commonly used to give visually impaired users access to geographical
representations. Although those relief maps are efficient tools for acquisition of spatial …

The standard definition for “physicalizations” is “a physical artifact whose geometry or
material properties encode data”. While this working definition provides the fundamental …
