With the rise of the open data movement a lot of statistical data has been made publicly available by governments, statistical offices and other organizations. First efforts to visualize are made by the data providers themselves. Data…
We present a system to convert any set of images (e.g., a video clip or a photo album) into a storyboard. We aim to create multiple pleasing graphic representations of the content at interactive rates, so the user can explore and find the…
Creating meaningful visual narratives through human-AI collaboration requires understanding how text-image intertextuality emerges when textual intentions meet AI-generated visuals. We conducted a three-phase qualitative study with 15…
