The Week in Vis 09 (Mon, Oct 26-Fri, Oct 30): Virtual Vis Week

October 23, 2020 (Last Modified: April 25, 2024)

This week class is very different. As you hopefully already know from a the first post, and the additional details in [Details about IEEE Vis 2020 for Class](/posts/vis-details/), next week is IEEE Vis2020 (VisWeek). And your assignment is to attend the conference.

All class activities are changed to connect to the conference. See [Details about IEEE Vis 2020 for Class](/posts/vis-details/).

There will be no class meetings (synchronous) - you should attend conference events.
There are no readings for class - you should watch conference events, and possibly look at papers that interest you.
Online Discussion 09: Vis Week (due Tue, Oct 27) asks about your experience with the conference.
Seek and Find 09: Virtual Vis Week (due Fri, Oct 30) asks you to find something at the conference.
Survey 09: Virtual Vis (due Fri, Oct 30) will ask you about the experience of using the conference as a class activity. It may have some more questions as well (I have some that were supposed to be on a previous survey, but I made a mistake and they were lost).

The following week, we’ll return top our normal form of class with a particularly exciting topics (for me): human perception and its impact on Vis. We’ll have a special guest visitor on Friday. There is a good amount of reading for next week, if you want to get started early, see Readings 10: Perception.
