| Content | The seminar explores different topics in Visual Analytics, with a focus on immersive and spatial forms of data interaction. Participants will investigate how extended reality (XR), including augmented, mixed, and virtual reality, as well as holographic projection, can support the exploration, communication, and interpretation of complex data. Furthermore, we offer participants the option to participate in a Hackathon with their seminar project. The Hackathon will feature a single challenge in collaboration with HC Davos, focusing on ice hockey. Details will be announced in the first seminar session. |
| Learning objectives | Participants understand the fundamental principles of Visual Analytics and immersive data visualization from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. |
| Bibliography | Relevant literature will be introduced during the seminar. |
