ABSTRACT
In the past few years, telling stories with data (narrative visualization) has been receiving progressive attention, due to many benefits of its use. Seminal works in the field mapped the main characteristics involved in designing this kind of visualization. However, through analyzing a set of related academic studies and comparing them with such seminal works, we identified unexplored characteristics. The main contribution of this paper is an extension of the original narrative design space proposals, identifying what main design strategies adopted in academia and research opportunities are, regarding design and interaction of the narrative visualization spectrum.
