Abstract

While visual cues are traditionally used for visual analytics, multimodal interaction technologies o er many new possibilities. This chapter explores the opportunities and challenges for developers and users to utilize and represent data through non-visual sensory channels to help them understand and interact with data. Users are able to experience data in new ways: variables from complex datasets can be conveyed through di erent senses; presentations are more accessible to people with vision impairment and can be personalized to speci c user needs; interactions can involve multiple senses to provide natural and transparent methods. All these techniques enable users to obtain a better understanding of the underlying information. While the emphasis of this chapter is towards non-visual immersive analytics, we include a discussion on how visual pre- sentations are integrated with di erent modalities, and the opportunities of mixing several sensory signals, including the visual domain.
