InfoVids: Reimagining the Viewer Experience with Alternative
  Visualization-Presenter Relationships
Traditional data presentations typically separate the presenter and
visualization into two separate spaces--the 3D world and a 2D screen--enforcing
visualization-centric stories. To create a more human-centric viewing
experience, we establish a more equitable relationship between the
visualization and the presenter through our InfoVids. These
infographics-inspired informational videos are crafted to redefine
relationships between the presenter and visualizations. As we design InfoVids,
we explore how the use of layout, form, and interactions affects the viewer
experience. We compare InfoVids against their baseline 2D `slides' equivalents
across 9 metrics with 30 participants and provide practical, long-term insights
from an autobiographical perspective. Our mixed methods analyses reveal that
this paradigm reduced viewer attention splitting, shifted the focus from the
visualization to the presenter, and led to more interactive, natural, and
engaging full-body data performances for viewers. Ultimately, InfoVids helped
viewers re-imagine traditional dynamics between the presenter and
visualizations.
