The VisHub is an interdisciplinary research lab and hub for teaching, collaboration, and outreach around data visualization hosted by the Institute for Design Informatics and the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. We research creative methods for interactive, exploratory and explanatory data visualizations across domains and environments (e.g., screen, physical, immersion). Our goal is to make data visualiztion and data analytics understandable by everyone. Find out more about our research and outreach below and don’t hestitate to get in touch.
