Research Abstract

We are currently living in an exciting era of technological advancements which make it possible to explore multi-sensory interactives. For instance, technologies like mobile augmented reality and spatial computing enable computers to use their physical surroundings for interaction. Manufacturing methods like 3D printing enable us to transcend flat print material. The maker movement of the last decade with the proliferation of community workshops like makerspaces enable people to access specialized equipment that were once beyond reach for the general public. In this Explorer Series lecture, Dr. Nihanth Cherukuru will discuss the application of inclusive design principles to data visualizations and offer new insights into the design of multisensory data representations leveraging the aforementioned technological developments.

Free public event for ages 12+
