Technology-Enhanced Diagrams Research

   It is an understatement to say that technology has enabled methodological innovation in diagram
   and spatial reasoning research. New technologies offer opportunities for recording data through
   video screen recordings; spatial navigation in real and virtual realities, visual attention monitoring,
   diagram activity on graphics tablets, and recording body position and gestures via position sensors
   and accelerometers. Whilst the rich data that these techniques yield offer exciting potential for
   research innovation, researchers face new methodological challenges due to its sheer volume and
   the challenge of triangulating data from multi-sources.


   The workshop will consist of tutorial presentations and paper submissions. Experienced diagrams
   researchers will share their knowledge and experiences of diagrams research using innovative
   technologies including haptic devices, interactive surfaces, eye trackers and virtual reality systems.
   Interactive sessions on the use of computer-based tools for synchronizing and analyzing multi-source
   data will be offered. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to explore and observe the
   methods in action and discuss their potential for methodological innovation.
