The event-packed week brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to explore their shared interests in visualization tools, techniques, and technology. We invite you to participate in IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST), IEEE Information Visualization (InfoVis), IEEE Scientific Visualization (SciVis), as well as a wide range of associated events. We hope to see you all this October to share your research, insights, experience, and enthusiasm and be part of the visualization movement! > > The IEEE VIS 2020 Virtual Conference will be held in a video conferencing platform, the details of which are currently being worked out. It is our intention to retain as much of the original conference program as is practical, including paper presentations, keynotes, poster sessions, tutorials, workshops, meetups, etc. We look forward to your participation in this exciting new environment and are committed to maintaining the academic value and integrity of the conference. Our publication policy remains unchanged, and we view this as an opportunity to expand our horizons! > > Keynote Speaker > For the first time in the history of the VIS conference, we will have a Nobel prize awardee as the keynote speaker: Mario Capecchi co-winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. > > Mario Capecchi, a renowned geneticist at the University of Utah, is a Distinguished Professor of Human Genetics with a unique life story of overcoming incredible odds when he nearly died as a child in the streets of Italy after his mother was arrested and put in a concentration camp by the Nazis during World War II. > > With an uplifting message that is mainly directed towards the junior members of our community, Mario Capecchi will stress the importance of collaboration in scientific investigation and how strong collaborative research helped him in his professional journey towards the Nobel prize. > Registration > We have established the pricing model for the conference as free for attendees and with a registration fee for presenters and contributors. > For the first time, we are introducing free registration for attendees as a way to turn this challenging situation into an opportunity to provide disadvantaged members of our community easy access to the premier visualization event of the year. > Student Volunteer Program Updates > Application is opening soon! > > This year, student volunteers will provide essential support to the IEEE VIS Conference either remotely or in-person at Salt Lake City, Utah. We are looking for reliable and enthusiastic students who have experience with online events to staff various virtual conference events or help with pre-conference setup to ensure a pleasant overall experience. > > Student volunteers will receive all of the benefits of this year’s program and get access to reserved virtual groups (more on this soon!). Student Volunteers will also benefit by observing first-hand the latest advances in visualization, hearing and meeting world-class as well as next-generation visualization professionals from around the world, and building a network of research colleagues. > > Be sure to check out our SV T-shirt design contest as well at http://www.vissv.org/shirtcontest.html <https://ieeevis.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=874d4e627b4758f4438963e9…>.

Let's try out calendar invites to this list, to see if we can be more organized
by Joseph Jay Williams 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Let's try out calendar invites to this list, to see if we can be more organized. I just joined the HCI social and realized a big reason I miss it is because there isn't a calendar invite. E.g. it'd be great if we could have a calendar invite with the zoom link, and then whoever organizes it could just paste the agenda or any links into the body of the calendar invite. A few of us on the call discussed trying out calendar invites, and I convinced Blaine to give it a shot. Blaine for next week, can you try out sending an invite to hci(a)dgp.toronto.edu? I'm sure it will cause some chaos as some people use google, some outlook, and there are aliased sublists (e.g. my iai list, Khai's list, etc) But everyone, please just send polite & helpful info and screenshots of your user experience to Blaine and I. If we can figure out how to do calendaring, it'll be really helpful for lab organization. Any advice/suggestions/feedback welcome of course, with the understanding that I will be grateful for it, but not necessarily follow it (don't be too mad!), because of not understanding, not remembering, not having time, having other constraints, or a million other reasons! Best, Joseph Joseph Jay Williams www.josephjaywilliams.com Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Intelligent Adaptive Interventions (IAI) research group

Social HCI Meeting Today
by Blaine Lewis 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Hi Everyone, Let's meet up today at 12:30 and hang out as part of the HCI social meeting schedule. I don't have anything serious planned so I thought we'd just play some games together! Hopefully some people who join have Jackbox or something. I was also thinking about maybe doing houseparty as I've heard it can be fun. https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 See you soon! Blaine

Social HCI Meeting Tomorrow Meetup
by Blaine Lewis 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hi Everyone, As I mentioned last week I've set up this week's social meeting with some grad students from Waterloo. I thought this would be a great chance to meet other people in HCI and have a more social time. Please come, we'll have some competitive DGP vs. Waterloo games planned and also a chance to get to know one another one-on-one. Zoom Link: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 Best, Blaine

Related Work(shop): Research-focused HCI Meeting – June 16
by Blaine Lewis 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

Hi Everyone! Continuing the trend of looking at writing we'll be doing an interactive workshop on related work next Tuesday. We'll go over a few different styles of related work, the purpose of writing related work, and some of the newer trends like a combined background + related work section. This is a huge topic, and I'm not necessarily an expert at any of this so I was hoping this workshop would be a bit more interactive and we could learn from one another. To help it be interactive I'd like everybody to try to bring: - *TODO: *A short writeup of their current related work process in this document (shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes): - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1el-wyns-yuj7dejBc-iSoevBm6LRumzBNJ8lRi1… - The idea is to analyse your own process so we can start to think of places we might need help. Zoom Link: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 Thank you! See you all next week, Blaine

by Blaine Lewis 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Hi Everyone, Tomorrow we will be having a *social* HCI meeting at the usual time (12:30). The format will be a lot like last week because I think that went great: - 5 minute chats 2-3 people per breakout room - Trivia!! - Small groups chat until people leave, 3-5 people per breakout room So come hang out! The schedule makes it sound formal and regimented but it's really not. https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 PS: Sorry if you see this email twice, I used the wrong from address originally. Hope to see you there, Blaine
