Journal paper accepted in IEEE TVCG
Our paper “The Reality of the Situation: A Survey of Situated Analytics” has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, and will be presented, later this year, at IEEE VIS 2023. In this work, we identify prior literature in this emerging field with a focus on the technologies enabling such situated analytics. We identify archetypical patterns in our classification using an ensemble cluster analysis, gauge the level of support for sensemaking and discuss several insights and design guidelines that we learned from our analysis.

The advent of low-cost, accessible, and high-performance augmented reality (AR) has shed light on a situated form of analytics where in-situ visualizations embedded in the real world can facilitate sensemaking based on the user’s physical location. In this work, we identify prior literature in this emerging field with a focus on situated analytics. After collecting 47 relevant situated analytics systems, we classify them using a taxonomy of three dimensions: situating triggers, view situatedness, and data depiction. We then identify four archetypical patterns in our classification using an ensemble cluster analysis. We also assess the level which these systems support the sensemaking process. Finally, we discuss insights and design guidelines that we learned from our analysis.
