The Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 161 “Quantitative Methods for Visual Computing” is an interdisciplinary research centre at the University of Stuttgart and the University of Konstanz, funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under project number 251654672. Ulm University and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München are participating institutions in the second and third funding period. The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen in was a participating institution in the first funding period.

The goal of SFB/Transregio 161 is establishing the paradigm of quantitative science in the field of visual computing, which is a long-term endeavour requiring a fundamental research effort broadly covering four research areas, namely quantitative models and measures, adaptive algorithms, interaction and applications. In the third funding period, which started in 2023, new research directions are being approached. One is visual explainability, assessing and quantifying how well the users of a visualisation system understand the phenomena shown visually. The second direction targets mixed reality, covering all forms of augmented and virtual reality as a cross-cutting field of various visual computing subfields, irrespective of applied technology. The third research theme aims to bring research results in the world, moving away from experiments in the laboratory and in the wild to openly accessible applications that provide research results, methods, data sets, and other outcomes from SFB/Transregio 161 to a wide range of stakeholders in academia, industry, teaching, and society in general.

In SFB/Transregio 161, approximately 40 scientists in the fields of computer science, visualisation, computer vision, human computer interaction, linguistics and applied psychology are jointly working on improving the quality of future visual computing methods and applications.

Vriend, Sita; Hägele, David; Weiskopf, Daniel, 2025, "Supplemental materials for "Two Empirical Studies on Audiovisual Semiotics of Uncertainty"", https://doi.org/10.18419/DARUS-4137, DaRUS, V1, UNF:6:Zv5hIuIcj79NjLNQkI3uBw== [fileUNF]
We explored the potential of audiovisual semiotics, the use of audiovisual channels, to enhance users' intuitive perception of uncertainty by conducting two user studies. In the first experiment we assessed the intuitiveness of audio/visual pairs. In the second experiment, we investigated the intuitive audiovisual mappings of uncertainty. These sup...

Wang, Yao, 2024, "SalChartQA: Question-driven Saliency on Information Visualisations (Dataset and Reproduction Data)", https://doi.org/10.18419/DARUS-3884, DaRUS, V2
Understanding the link between visual attention and user’s needs when visually exploring information visualisations is under-explored due to a lack of large and diverse datasets to facilitate these analyses. To fill this gap, we introduce SalChartQA - a novel crowd-sourced dataset that uses the BubbleView interface as a proxy for human gaze and a q...
