This habilitation explores the visualization of data in and about physical spaces. While there are myriad ways to approach this, this work focuses on a targeted subset, structured top-down: It starts with conceptual contributions which provide the backbone for tools and studies.

The first part introduces three conceptual models and frameworks for visualizing data and making it experienceable in space: data physicalization, situated and embedded data representations and finally progressive value reading.

The second part presents four tools and techniques which visualize data in or about spaces. First it discusses a method to analyze and compare tools to capture activities in fabrication workshops; a participatory data physicalization enabling people to capture multi-dimensional data about daily activities in or related to a space; finally two explorations of virtual representations of physical spaces: one putting uncertainty in physical trips on maps, and another using a simulated mini-world to illustrate the concept of sustainability.

The third part summarizes three controlled experiments investigating different relationships of people with space: a conceptual replication study testing a presumed link between body posture and risky behaviors in a human-computer interaction context; a study on how visualization may augment debiasing approaches for spatial and temporal task estimates; and an exploration how concrete augmented reality visualizations in physical spaces may affect message credibility of visualizations.

The habilitation concludes with reflections on methodological rigor, research transparency, and future research directions.

It is also possible to follow the defense on zoom.
