SceneWeaver: A Multi-Agent Collaborative System for 3D Scene Creation in Video Games

Authors: Rong Huang, Chenxi Ruan, Bingchuan Jiang and Wei Zeng

  • Indoor trees? (read paper)

Measuring Attitudinal Change and Knowledge Transfer in a Game-based Climate Change Intervention

Authors: Paul Huemer and Jeremiah Diephuis

  • Parallel coordinates/dahsboard for game analysis
  • .. with a lot of surveys (SUS, TLX, …)

Exploring Dynamic Hypergraphs for Clustering Analysis of District Heating Data

Authors: Valeria Garro, Ilir Jusufi, Shahrooz Abghari, Jens Brage and Veselka Boeva

  • Clustering analysis of temporal cluster
  • Parallel Aggregated Ordered Hypergraph (PAOH) - rather than animation …

Interactive Exploration of Approximate Solutions for On-Demand Ride-Sharing Transportation

Authors: Shigeo Takahashi, Ryoya Yoshimoto, Yuki Tanioka and Kazuo Misue

  • Animation of pick-up over street graph
  • Analyze combinations of multiple pick-ups/travel requests - optimization of vehicle assignments
  • Cost: passenger time, travel time, … - and feasibility wrt. pick-up/drop-off orders
  • interactive placement/simulation of pick-ups/deliverables

Comparative Views on Eye Movement Data Variables

Authors: Michael Burch, Tamara Nyffeler, Serge Pellegatta and Sharon Reiser

  • Visualization of eye tracking: different approaches, e.g. heatmaps, scatterplotsm, bar charts, boxplots
  • Again: a bachelor’s thesis!

SAHNet: A Spectral-Aware Hashing Network for Large-Scale Fine-Grained Food Image Retrieval

Authors: Junsong Wang, Yihan Wang, Bolin Yang, Guorui Sheng and Lili Wang

  • Subtle (visual) food difference for retrieval - small inter-class variation, high intra-class variations
  • Utilize multi-scale representation for effective retrieval; sub-models:
    • Spectral graph vs.
    • Spatial graph

Developmental Aesthetics: Spatial Cognition and Children’s Evolving Appreciation of Abstract Patterns and Paintings

Authors: Pengcheng Wang, Yuanqian Gao and Rongrong Chen

  • Children prefer different symmetrical structures depending on age?
  • They seem to have a quite high variability, are the results significant at all?

Papers 6 – Immersive Interaction and Visualization

HeritageExplorer: Interactive Visualization and Dialogue System for Multi-modal Architectural Heritage Exploration

Authors: Yusong Wang, Yihan Hou, Rong Huang and Wei Zeng

  • Architecture classification / exploration / search system
  • Using RAG + KG for search + fact validation

Papers 7 – Evaluation

A User Evaluation on Mouse Movements in Visual Interfaces

Authors: Michael Burch, Günter Wallner, Isabel von Ah and Franjo Pehar

  • Another Bachelor Thesis, mouse movement analysis (@Stefan?)
  • Using gestalt principles - H: gestalt principles less mouse movement / shorter task solve times
  • Goal: detect design flaws in UIs
  • Metrics: mouse distance used for task, speed metrics
  • Setup: used a single setup (!!)

Design and Evaluation of Unified Superimposed Visualization for a Large-Scale Heterogeneous Local Explanation

Authors: Shoko Sawada and Masashi Toyoda

  • for XAI approaches - visualize XAI explanations
  • Use local explanations / not counterfactuals
  • Using heatmaps - frames - arrows in “Feature Explanation Matrix” - show changes (back to counterfactual) using arrows to indicate counterfactual change
  • User study to investigate usability, use the XAI-VLAT

Text-Color Hybrid Labeling for Multiclass Map Visualization: A Comparative Evaluation of Four Annotation Strategies

Authors: Xinyao Chen, Xinyuan Zhang, Teng Ma, Lingyun Yu and Yu Liu

  • Investigate label placement in maps - legend aside, inside, color for multi-class geography viz
