`; } }31:T586,The _data_ upon which this reflection is based is highly qualitative. It consists of a diverse set of notes, prototypes, data sketches, communications and memories of the experiences lived during our engagement in 2020. Links to some of this information are provided below, but this is an incomplete selection of a wider set of interactions involving explanations, suggestions, discussion and design interventions: * [Simple Network Sim - Visualization](https://gicentre.github.io/scrc/docs/simpleNetworkSim-VIS/questions.html) * [Simple-Network-Sim - Flows](https://gicentre.github.io/scrc/) * [SCRC: visualization / Data Visualization Design Discourse](https://zulip.scrc.uk/#narrow/stream/17-visualisation/topic/Data.20Visualization.20Design.20Discourse/near/6453) * [SCRC: simple_network_sim / Visualization](https://zulip.scrc.uk/#narrow/stream/15-simple_network_sim/topic/Visualization/near/12478) Much of the engagement was based around the [Simple Network Simulation](https://github.com/ScottishCovidResponse/simple_network_sim) model and discussions with the team involved. The digital data used in developing and assessing this particular model is listed in notebooks associated with that activity: * [RAMPVIS : Directional flow curves](https://observablehq.com/@jwolondon/rampvis_idiom_directional_flow_curves) * [RAMPVIS : The OD Map](https://observablehq.com/@jwolondon/rampvis_idiom_odmap)32:T71b,However, key literature and concepts used in developing the **Design By Immersion** activities include a series of papers that describe this space: * The **Nested Model** for Visualization Design and Validation - [Munzner (2009)](https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2009.111), describes 4-levels of cascading threats to visualization research validity: _problem characterisation_, _task and data abstraction_, _encoding and interaction design_, and _algorithm design_; * **Design Study Methodology** - [Sedlmair et al. (2012)](https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2012.213) - a process model containing 9 stages to structure engagement and 23 pitfalls to be avoided while doing so. DSM is intended to guide visualization researchers and show the "_iterative dynamics_" of applied visualization design work * **Action Design Research** - [McCurdy et al. (2016)](https://doi.org/10.1145/2993901.2993916) - provides a focus on knowledge construction through the co-design of artefacts. These, and associated knowledge, are developed through Building/Intervention/Evaluation loops in which design is used to disrupt (and improve) process. Key concepts include _Reciprocal Shaping_ -- the development of designs and design ideas from complimentary sources; _Mutually Influential Roles_ -- close collaboration that causes shifts in knowledge, practice and approaches to design and problem solving as perspectives are shared and learning occurs. * **Risk the Drift!** - [Hinrichs et al. (2017)](http://hdl.handle.net/10023/11778) - which explores theses shifting knowledge spaces and research roles involved in design collaborations between humanities researchers and visualization designers. These approaches were used to frame much of the SCRC engagement and have been applied and developed in numerous visualization design studies.33:T7c6,In _Design by Immersion_ terminology the digital workplace and associated protocols supported our efforts to use visualization effectively, so that we could readily: * #### _**D-3**_ _Analyze data collaboratively with domain experts_
all data analysis was digital and cold be screen-shared; * #### _**S-1**_ _Observe domain experts practices unobtrusively in situ_
data, discussions, demos and explanations were digital and shared; * #### _**S-4**_ _Attend meetings and discussions in the domain_ unobtrusively
again, this was entirely digital and attendance was unlimited and entirely unobtrusive; * #### _**C-4**_ _Translate concepts and material for design team members coming from predominantly visualization or target domain backgrounds_
we used the digital workspace to document voraciously, with _GitHub_ and _Zulip_ providing particular focii for resources, discussions and updates; * #### _**L-2**_ _Gain broader exposure to domain concepts beyond domain problem_
the mass of documentation on all SCRC efforts enabled us to browse and connect to achieve this aim; * #### _**L-5**_ _Participate in simulations of domain work_
the modelling was all about simulation, and the digital workspace made participation straightforward; * #### _**P-3**_ _Start ideating early in the design process using pre-existing domain knowledge_
we shared knowledge and perspectives through Zoom calls and live document sharing, commenting, editing ; * #### _**P-4**_ _Iterate rapidly and collaboratively on designs by leveraging informal domain feedback_
online provided huge capacity for this kind of iterative feedback and critique; * #### _**P-5**_ _Self-critique designs from the visualization and domain perspectives_ as above, we requested and received feedback both in real time and asynchronously in ways that were made possible by the digital workspace and the deep commitment and focus that the pandemic generated. 34:T552,Our experience felt like an intense digital immersion that required, adopted and enhanced _Design by Immersion_ concepts.
For example ... * We were certainly able to _enrich domain understanding_, _explore (and explain) new space_ and _build relationships_ using the digital workspace and the _Design by Immersion_ concepts were helpful in ensuring that this happened.
This enabled us to share and address data challenges. * We prioritised effectively, designing informative visualization that contributed to problem solving, and iterated relatively well in the digital workspace * We were able to share images and reactions - acquiring and contributing knowledge about the use of visualization in this domain
* **P-2** - encodings were inspired by existing visualization created by the modellers; * **P-5** - _self-critique_ became constructive _**co**-critique_; * Communication opportunities were wide, continuous and sometimes verging on the overwhelming - having _everything_ on _GitHub_ was a blessing and a challenge:
* **S-1** - _observe domain experts practices unobtrusively in situ_ - became our way of working; * **C-3** - _informal peer-to-peer communication_ was continuous and valuable; * **L-2** - _gain broader exposure to domain concepts beyond domain problem_ - everything was online, across all sub-projects; 35:[{"id":"ae52f98c2a59ee5a555e50505caf22da79c0142d5451bea59a12aac479cdbf0f8a50cb287e27e9d6be49916e59ec6f7e6ce6b9563c5da69c6c939995bc00e794","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/ae52f98c2a59ee5a555e50505caf22da79c0142d5451bea59a12aac479cdbf0f8a50cb287e27e9d6be49916e59ec6f7e6ce6b9563c5da69c6c939995bc00e794","name":"dbiFig1.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1644853232532.376,"size":203931},{"id":"5d963d5c32303a191c4ea5092da546db0c3c660c843dda5ba44749b00b44cdb6dc9cbaf44328122827faf5d22883d3e8b3aa3b28f0dc21256a7892a8938f28fc","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/5d963d5c32303a191c4ea5092da546db0c3c660c843dda5ba44749b00b44cdb6dc9cbaf44328122827faf5d22883d3e8b3aa3b28f0dc21256a7892a8938f28fc","name":"dbiRAMPVIS.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1644853232998.731,"size":350842},{"id":"5ac0d6c58f19c98af03ddeb3cd3a3735ebf79a5e33139918b62eab409d4a4f2c495cef4836691d4df5a5b1d121ade79477650020b2ff5c84e03b95694a8d73a1","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/5ac0d6c58f19c98af03ddeb3cd3a3735ebf79a5e33139918b62eab409d4a4f2c495cef4836691d4df5a5b1d121ade79477650020b2ff5c84e03b95694a8d73a1","name":"dbiSCRCzulip2020.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1644856330050.759,"size":135394}] 2e:{"id":"1c31af6291e7bc1e","slug":"rampvis-idiom-design-by-immersion","title":"RAMPVIS : Design by Immersion","thumbnail":"e13f10e89fa6eda5b202e580644e00f562dc00fd2d0f037f1d8d7c93e91a2c27","access_level":"unlisted","create_time":"$D2022-02-01T13:31:51.234Z","update_time":"$D2022-02-17T18:25:54.485Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":null,"has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":{"id":"23aabb2852ed6f28","slug":"rampvis-idiom-template","title":"RAMPVIS Idiom : TEMPLATE","owner":{"id":"262e0f3061f34839","login":"jsndyks","name":"jason dykes"}},"stars":0,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"262e0f3061f34839","login":"jsndyks","name":"jason dykes","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/ce8c740e3f4f161e440b04f5d1f16368eb63cba559ce4c7bdec538f4316764d8","tier":"starter_2024"},"version":1177,"publish_version":1177,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[{"type":"individual","id":"955e37df990d4e95","login":"jsndyks","name":"jason dykes","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/ce8c740e3f4f161e440b04f5d1f16368eb63cba559ce4c7bdec538f4316764d8","tier":null}],"members":[{"type":"individual","id":"6b1f9966e7dea692","login":"cagatayturkay","name":"","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/a40227523694e1e50f6ea8dca5c2774a65e88c0442050bbc77c84dcd8144d038","tier":null,"role":"editor"},{"type":"individual","id":"955e37df990d4e95","login":"jsndyks","name":"jason dykes","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/ce8c740e3f4f161e440b04f5d1f16368eb63cba559ce4c7bdec538f4316764d8","tier":null,"role":"editor"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":false,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":0,"collection":null,"type":"notebook","body":{"titling":"auto","title":"RAMPVIS : Design by Immersion","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"# RAMPVIS : Design by Immersion","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"","database":"$undefined"},{"id":711,"value":"$30","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":360,"value":"---\n## 1.
