Abstract

This track presents research on the design language of sketching and visualization, encompassing analog and tablet sketching, immersive realities, and artificial intelligence. Analyses of sketching with analog technology show unexplored shortcomings and advantages of our physicality. Digital tools show their potential from emulating material pen and paper to creativity through fully embodied experiences within the drawing environment and collaborative telepresence realities. Lastly, manuscripts on generative artificial intelligence demonstrate the conversion of previously inaccessible programming to simple natural written language to prompt machine-assisted visualizations. These three perspectives for exploration and finding assist in redefining academia and professional practice intent and content through current and new skills in
demand that will determine their agency in a changing world.
