Abstract
As discussed in the last chapters, a lot of work has already been done by academia and practitioners with respect to developing and producing visualization tools and visual products specifically designed for broad audiences. While there have been significant efforts in the field, there are still open issues and new exciting areas to explore for visualization researchers and practitioners, such as the need to develop guidelines for engaging visualization and visual interfaces where humans are in the loop, and how to prepare the next generation of data-driven storytellers. Toward the end of this chapter, as we contemplate the next era of visualization, we reflect on past accomplishments and share a few thoughts about the future of our practice.
