V 2.4 of reVISit – our online user study platform – is out, and it’s all about speed and stability. There are some new features, including the ability to specify a condition via URL parameters, but the focus was fixing bugs and making sure that your studies run smoothly!

You can read about the release on the blog, or just give it a try!

@ai6yr always chuckle at the flyer my hometown sheriff put out
Get Lucky 🙂

He timed his arrival in Austria well: his first work-day was spent at IEEE VIS in Vienna. Very glad to have you on board! 🎉

I'm excited to welcome the first member of the Visualization Design Lab @ TU Graz: Abhraneel Sarma. Abhraneel joins us as a PostDoc from Northwestern University in Chicago, where he just recently completed his PhD.

A special thanks to Sheng Long for contributing the Virtual Chinrest Calibration library—our first community contribution!

ReVISit continues to evolve as a flexible, open-source platform for visualization and HCI research.

* Expanded styling options for customizing the look and accessibility of studies.
* A live monitor and study summary dashboard for real-time progress and insights.
* Dynamic study logic and new validated libraries for visualization literacy, usability, and workload assessment.

Key highlights include:

* Support for Supabase, a self-hosted and GDPR-friendly alternative to Firebase.
* Screen capture for recording participant interactions directly within studies.
* A new qualitative coding interface for analyzing transcripts and study replays.

We’re excited to announce ReVISit v2.3, along with updates from versions 2.1 and 2.2. These releases introduce major new capabilities that make it easier to design, run, and analyze visualization studies.

Check out what's new:

We will be covering transportation to/from Vienna and three nights in a hotel (shared room with other participants) for up to 4 participants. Preference will be given to individuals who’ve run studies with reVISit before.
