For the next event in our #lecture series, we're looking forward to welcoming Michael Wybrow from Monash University. In his presentation on "Human Interfaces Across Domains: Optimisation, Reasoning, Health & Energy", he will discuss various dimensions of his extensive research on visual #interfaces.

Next week's #sfbtrr161 lecture will focus on real-world scenarios where #remote experts guide local users in performing physical tasks. Tony Huang from the University of Sydney presents different types of #visual communication cues used in such collaborations. ➡️ www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...

In our next lecture, we'll dive into the intersection of #GameAI and #ImmersiveAnalytics. How could each support the other? We look forward to hearing about it in Mike Preuss' (@skapedin.bsky.social) lecture "Game AI And Immersive Analytics: Save the World Together?" www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtr...

Huge thanks to everyone at our #IEEEVIS reviewing panel in Vienna. Grateful to panelists Han-Wei Shen, Michael Sedlmair, Melanie Tory, Helwig Hauser, Bei Wang, Tamara Munzner; and to an engaged audience. Co-organized with @drpi.bsky.social, @nelmqvist.bsky.social & Gunther Weber.

Uncertainty-Aware PCA for Arbitrarily Distributed Data Modeled by Gaussian Mixture Models Multidimensional data is often associated with uncertainties that are not well-described by normal distributions. In this work, we describe how such distributions can be projected to a low-dimensional...
