Abstract:

While we can look to Hollywood for inspiration about the future of visualization and interaction with data, we must be cautious to recognize some fundamental differences between movies and reality. We explore three areas: complexity; magic; and augmented reality and examine their uses both within movies and potential uses on post-desktop visualizations.
