Are you interested in the intersection of #eyetracking and #visualization? Then #ETVIS might just be the thing for you! Supported by #sfbtrr161, the 10th ETVIS workshop takes place in conjunction with #ETRA2026. Submit your papers until March 2, 2026: https://www.etvis-workshop.org/etvis-2026.html

Time flies and we've already reached the last event in this semester's #sfbtrr161 Lecture Series! Next week, Michael Doggett from @lunduniversity will discuss the relationship between advances in silicone and high-quality interactive #graphics in his lecture "Efficient Utilisation of Silicon for Real-Time Rendering":

🎮✨ How have #gaming and #silicon architectures co-evolved to shape the highly realistic virtual worlds we see today?
🧠🖥️ What role do ray tracing #hardware and neural acceleration play in pushing real-time rendering to the next level?
🔮🚀 What challenges and opportunities lie ahead as the landscape of graphics-oriented silicon continues to shift?

📆 Monday, February 2, 4 to 6 p.m.
📍 Visualization Research Center (VISUS), @unistuttgart & online

Regularly spending time in the #metaverse still feels like science fiction to many — perhaps partly due to limited access to #VR equipment or because the technology's usefulness for everyday tasks is not yet evident to everyone. Meanwhile, regular users spend more and more time in virtual spaces, sometimes even disconnecting from the physical world.

The question how these two groups can be brought closer together will be discussed by Hugo do Nascimento from Federal University of Goiás in our upcoming #sfbtrr161 lecture. One of his research projects aims at creating bridges between virtual and physical spaces and investigates how an interaction between the two could be designed.

📆 Monday, December 15, 4 to 6 p.m.
📍 University of Konstanz, Room ZT 702 & online

💐👏 Congratulations to Sabrina Jaeger-Honz from our Project D04! She won the Airbus Research Award "Claude Dornier" for her #dissertation "Combining Bio- and Cheminformatics for Small Data Sets: Microcystins as a Use Case".

💡 Using computational methods, Sabrina's thesis presents multiple interconnected approaches in order to overcome difficulties associated with studying small datasets in bio- and #cheminformatics.

Next week's #sfbtrr161 lecture will focus on real-world scenarios where #remote experts guide local users in performing physical tasks. Tony Huang from the University of Sydney presents different types of #visual communication cues used in such collaborations. ➡️ https://www.sfbtrr161.de/events_sfbtrr161/

It's #ieeevis week 🤩 This year, the premier conference on #visualization and visual analytics is held in Vienna, Austria. Check out the contributions to the #conference program by #sfbtrr161 members:
