Physical engagement with data necessarily influences the reflective process. However, the
role of interactivity and narration are often overlooked when designing and analyzing …

In this pictorial, we present a method to facilitate hands-on physicalization processes during
workshops. Data physicalization--encoding data in physical artefacts--allows for new ways …

Self-reflection is a central goal of personal informatics systems, and constructing
visualizations from physical tokens has been found to help people reflect on data. However …

Data physicalization is a rich and vast research area that studies the use of physical artifacts
to convey data. It overlaps with a number of research areas including information …

While self-tracking data is typically captured real-time in a lived experience, the data is often
stored in a manner detached from the context where it belongs. Research has shown that …

Although physical artifacts that represent data have been used for centuries, the research
field—known as data physicalization—has only recently gained traction. Compared to data …

Creating physicalizations requires a high amount of decision taking, in particular in selecting
and staging the data to be conveyed, which can be challenging. We give insight into the …

With the Big Data hype, making digital data accessible and relatable for non‐data experts is
becoming an increasing challenge. In this paper we suggest Data Physicalization as a novel …

A growing body of work focuses on physicalisations based on personal, everyday data.
Despite growing interest, little is known about how to educate people on their creation. We …

Data physicalizations “map data to physical form,” yet many canonical examples are not
based on external data sets. To address this contradiction, I argue that the practice of …
