The visualization community has a rich history of reflecting upon flaws of visualization design, and research in this direction has remained lively until now. However, three main gaps still exist. First, most existing work characterizes…
Affective video indexing is the area of research that develops techniques to automatically generate descriptions of video content that encode the emotional reactions which the video content evokes in viewers. This paper provides a set of…
Video fundamentally intertwines two crucial axes: the dynamic content of a scene and the camera motion through which it is observed. However, existing generation models often entangle these factors, limiting independent control. In this…
Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are reshaping education, with virtual avatars emerging as digital teachers capable of enhancing engagement, sustaining attention, and addressing instructor shortages. Aligned…
Professional designers work from client briefs that specify goals and constraints but often lack concrete design details. Translating these abstract requirements into visual designs poses a central challenge, yet existing tools address…
Creating 2D animations is a complex, iterative process requiring continuous adjustments to movement, timing, and coordination of multiple elements within a scene. To support designers of varying levels of experience with animation design…
Dense video captioning (DVC) aims to generate multi-sentence descriptions to elucidate the multiple events in the video, which is challenging and demands visual consistency, discoursal coherence, and linguistic diversity. Existing methods…
Video tutorials are a popular medium for informal and formal learning. However, when learners attempt to view and follow along with these tutorials, they encounter what we call gaps, that is, issues that can prevent learning. We examine the…
The landscape of video generation is shifting, from a focus on generating visually appealing clips to building virtual environments that support interaction and maintain physical plausibility. These developments point toward the emergence…
