title: InfoVids: Reimagining the Viewer Experience with Alternative
    Visualization-Presenter Relationships
summary: 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.
