We created educational tactile versions of UpSet plots, clustered heatmaps, violin plots, and faceted line charts. In interviews, BLV participants said these models helped them build stronger mental models than textual explanations alone.

- Expanded styling options for customizing the look and accessibility of studies.
- A live monitor and study summary dashboard for real-time progress and insights.

We’ll also hold an in-person get-together for course participants and anyone interested in reVISit in Room G218, 9:00–10:30am on Thursday, May 1.
V 2.4 of reVISit – our online user study platform – is out, and it’s all about speed and stability. There are some new features, including the ability to specify a condition via URL parameters, but the focus was fixing bugs and making sure that your studies run smoothly!
You can read about the release on the blog, or just give it a try!

If you're curios about how reVISit can help you run your user studies, join us for a meetup at #CHI2025 tomorrow from 9:00-10:30 in Room G218!
