#IEEEVIS @tnagel.bsky.social WOW!
Thoughtful, creative (practical) design experiments with thoughtful creative (theoretical) explanation experiments that bounce off one another as ideas and experience progress.

Love this kind of paper. Inspiring.

New project: Crafting Futures aims to combine embedded visualizations and generative AI to make climate change impacts and other current and future urban phenomena visible. www.hdilab.org/projects/cra...
Storyboard of an example scenario in our research project: Sophie checks the air quality in front of her house in real-time using her smartphone. With a quick gesture, she suggests sustainable measures and discusses their potential impacts with her neighbor Ben.

So cool! Student project wins sustainability prize of the City of Mannheim for their visualization of urban heat islands and cooling effects of urban greenery. www.hdilab.org/news/2025/05...

Comparing temporal patient data with other patients and cohorts in the case of line charts. #fromthearchives
timevisforcomparingpatientsandcohorts.github.io
All possible combinations for comparing 1 measurement over time between different patient entities (single patient, multiple patients, and cohorts) in the case of line charts. For single and multiple patients, each line represents 1 measurement, whereas, for cohorts, the chart represents the mean and range. All combinations are shown in juxtapositioned and superpositioned layouts, with the colors supporting legibility in the latter.

HeatHub is a visualization system to show spatial, hierarchical and temporal dimensions of heat meter data for the Berlin TXL. Developed by students of the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the Urban Tech Republic, Berlin TXL. www.hdilab.org/projects/hea...
Dashboard with an interactive 3D map of buildings and heat meter locations, a sunburst chart showing proportional energy use, and small multiple line charts to show the energy consumption over time.
