Physical representations of data have existed for thousands of years. Now, with advances in digital fabrication, actuated tangible interfaces, and shape-changing displays, a new area of research is emerging: data physicalization.
Data physicalization aims to help people explore, understand, and communicate data using computer-supported physical data representations. These representations are called physicalizations, analogously to visualizations – their purely visual counterpart. This wiki provides reading material and a forum for all interested in this topic.

Technically, this site is no longer a wiki. It used to run on a mediawiki, but we realized that the edit frequency of the wiki was not so high to justify running the site as a wiki. The content of site is now kept in a git and uses the static site generator Hugo to generate the html pages. It is still possible to contribute actively to this site. The process is described on the Guide for Contributors page. ↩︎
