Zusammenfassung

Dieter Schmalstieg has recently moved to the University of Stuttgart with the research agenda to bring visualization and augmented reality (AR) closer together. As AR makes great strides towards wider commercial adoption, the visual interfaces enabled by AR ("situated analytics") finally move into the focus of research. Unlike traditional visualization research, situated analytics depends on location, context, live streaming data, and the availability of a digital twin of the user's environment. This talk examines how these factors influence and expand the research space of visualization and how the new field may develop.
