The fundamental problem associated with video and images is that they are already visual data. Thus, many interesting classes of visual information have no natural and obvious alternative presentation despite their original appearance. The arising problem is, therefore, to visualize a more metaphorical view onto that information which does not automatically map onto the physical world.
In spite of this need, current visualization research (e.g., Videostreamer (Davenport) or Video Micons and Video Space Icon (Tonomura/Abe)) has not been active enough in discovering new visual metaphors for representing/presenting pictorial information.
The purpose of the workshop is to explore new ideas for representations of visual media and to clarify the nature, scope, limits and dangers of new interface metaphors for visual media.
Applicants should send position papers (3-5 pages in .pdf format), articulating their interests, ideas and experiences in information visualization and visual media. Videos and application demonstrations are strongly encouraged. We welcome papers from people with a variety of insights and perspectives (e.g., HCI, data mining, imaging, graphics, entertainment, education, etc.). Selection, based on the position papers, will seek to balance perspective and interests of the participants.
Participants will be expected to read the position papers of other participants prior to the workshop, and to prepare a brief presentation of their own views. Participants will be asked to assist in the preparation of the workshop report. The workshop is limited to 15 participants.
