Congrats to Bridger Herman, the lead author of Touching the Ground: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Data Physicalizations for Spatial Data Analysis Tasks, which won a Best Paper Honorable Mention Award (top 3% of submissions) at IEEE VIS 2024.

Bridger joins a growing group of IV/LAB alumni (Kate, Bret, and Dane) who have earned best paper recognitions at top IEEE and ACM conferences for the final projects during their time in the lab -- if only you would all stay longer!! Congratulations, and good luck on your next adventure Bridger!
