A new preprint proposes a broad framework for teaching and assessing visualization design. The authors built it from instructors’ course objectives and feedback, while stressing that the resulting assessment remains an initial framework rather than an established measure of student knowledge.
In a 33-volunteer study, an interactive 3D graph viewed in virtual reality was compared with a PowerPoint presentation for retrieving linked engineering-model information. The virtual-reality condition took longer, while the other measured outcomes showed no significant differences.
An analysis of two unlinked surveys from active Fledge.Love users found that receptivity to deploying one’s own conversational agent and receptivity to encountering another person’s agent are separate but strongly related. The data do not show how AI agents affect real-world dating behavior.
A methods preprint reviews 66 Chinese mental-health EMA studies and proposes a 43-indicator framework for assessing research platforms. In a Huixin EMAI case, 1,893 of 2,472 prompts were completed, but the study also found missed notifications, uneven platform capabilities and unresolved researcher-side gaps.
