The field of visualization and interactive analytics is moving towards more immersive and interactive experiences, with a focus on improving user experience and decision-making capabilities. Researchers are exploring new ways to represent complex data, such as hypergraphs and digital twins, to facilitate deeper analysis and understanding. Additionally, there is a growing interest in developing frameworks and tools that enable the creation of interactive and dynamic visualizations, such as those used in virtual reality and multimodal learning applications. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Safire, which introduces a conceptual model for understanding visualization similarity, and FIRETWIN, which presents a digital twin system for wildfire response that combines historical data with immersive digital representations. Other notable works include the development of interactive visual analytics tools for exploring large image collections and optimizing feature ordering in radar charts for multi-profile comparison.
