After a long break I'm back with the #tedxzurich crowd at the #jointhecountdown event. Tonight is about sustainability.

The "five gates": climate change discourse organized into a five step model by Dr. Claude A. Garcia (Uni Applied Sci Bern). A well delivered lecture guiding about how to think about our attitude & behavior. #tedxzurich #jointhecountdown

Dr. Elisabeth Stern enlightens (and charms, in the process) us on how Climate Seniors change the world, starting from the Swiss law! #tedxzurich #jointhecountdown

We are thrilled to invite you to Prof. Dr. Alyssa Goodman's brownbag talk on 11 July 2024. Title: "Linkable Interactive Visualization and Exploration (LIVE) Environments, with a Tour of the Milky Way, in 3D" Check the flyer below - Explore the #MilkyWay in 3D!

This week we (Institute of Interactive Technologies FHNW) visited Laboratoire AAU in Nantes, France. A few days of productive discussions to develop new ideas for a research project at the intersection of urban informatics, #XR, #UX and design.

Amy Griffin (RMIT University), Arzu Çöltekin Arzu Çöltekin (Institute of Interactive Technologies FHNW) and Robert E. Roth (UW-Madison Geography UW Cart Lab) at the Uniwersytet Warszawski talk on usability i #cartography and multiple aspects of #map #design Maps are created for humans - a given yet always inspiring #DataViz #CartoViz ICA

Day 2 of pre- #eurocarto activities is in full swing, hosted by Iza Golebiowska and co. at the University of Warsaw. See the program here: carto-vis-workshop.uw.edu.pl (abstracts will follow). Interesting talks and great energy! cc ICA ICA Commission on Visual Analytics #cartography #datavis

Dr. Izabela presented our abstract today on "human vs. AI". Can people (even experts) tell if a map is generalized* by AI? Seemingly they can't -- we'll share more soon :) *Cartographic generalization (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartograp…) is highly complex with qualitative decisions.

Online user experiments are possible, but not without challenges, especially if an additional device is needed. Today we're discussing online user experiments with eye tracking: eurocarto2024.org/wp-content/upl… #eurocarto workshop by Merve Keskin (Merve) & Vassilios Krassanakis
