[Infovis] 📊 Input Visualization Workshop - Call for participation 🦄♥️

[Samuel Huron]

Dear Academic friends,

We’re pleased to announce the call for papers for the Input Visualization
Workshop, co-located with the IEEE VIS Conference in Vienna, Austria,
taking place from November 2 to 7.

Input visualization — “visual representations that are designed to collect
(and represent) new data rather than encode pre-existing datasets” —
provides a new lens for direct interactions with data through
visualizations and physicalizations.

You can find a collection of input visualization online here:
https://inputvisualization.github.io/

For the workshop, we invite three types of submissions for the workshop:
(1) Position papers, (2) Examples of input visualizations, (3) Expressions
of interest to participate in the workshop without submitting a paper or
example to help us estimate the number of attendees.

👉: https://forms.gle/T6wmARWrcZfMRwS28


🫶🏻 (1) Position papers:

We invite 2+ page position papers or pictorials that identify, highlight,
or address key challenges related to interaction and input in
visualizations, including (but not limited to):

- New or existing input visualization designs.

- New or overlooked use cases for interaction in visualizations.

- Case studies of participatory visualization and physicalization in
practice.

- New interaction techniques for inputting, modifying, or annotating data
via visual interfaces.

- Novel physical, tangible, or tool-driven approaches to interacting with
visualizations.

- Design principles, challenges, or opportunities for interactive
visualizations.


Submissions should use the VGTC conference two-column format or DIS
Pictorial format. Submissions will be shared with participants before the
workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the
workshop and must register for at least one day of the conference. For more
details, please visit the workshop's website at:
https://inputvisualization.github.io/vis2025/.


Submission deadline: August 4, 2025

Notification: August 19, 2025


🫶🏻 (2) Examples of input visualizations:

Alternatively, we also invite submissions of examples of input
visualizations that you find inspiring or relevant, whether from your own
research or other sources. We will use these examples during the workshop
as we aim to expand our evolving corpus of input visualizations. Please
include an image and a short description of the example, as well as an
explanation of why you find this example interesting or inspiring.
Submissions should be provided in PDF format, or any other format that fits
your submission.


🫶🏻 (3) Expressions of interest to participate:

If you are interested in participating in the workshop, even without
submitting a position paper or example, please fill out the form as well,
as this will help us estimate the number of attendees.


Best Regards,

Workshop Organizers
