Telling Data-Driven Stories with Visualization

Bongshin Lee, Microsoft Research

Abstract

Practitioners increasingly use visualizations “in the wild” to tell compelling stories supported by data, and continually develop novel techniques that help integrate data visualization into narrative stories. The visualization research community has recently begun to pay more attention to the need and use of visualization as a storytelling medium to tell engaging visual data-driven stories. However, data-driven storytelling research is still very much in its infancy and offers great opportunities to the visualization community. In this talk, I will present my recent research on data-driven storytelling to understand the data story creation process and to enable people to easily create visual data-driven stories. I will also discuss future research avenues in this exciting emerging field.
