Abstract

Visualization is coming of age. With visual depictions being seamlessly integrated into documents, and data visualization techniques being used to understand increasingly large and complex datasets, the term "visualization"\´ is becoming used in everyday conversations. But we are on a cusp; visualization researchers need to develop and adapt to today\´s new devices and tomorrow\´s technology. Today, people interact with visual depictions through a mouse. Tomorrow, they\´ll be touching, swiping, grasping, feeling, hearing, smelling, and even tasting data. The next big thing is multisensory visualization that goes beyond the desktop.
