Studying how people interact with AI is increasingly relevant, and when that AI is embedded in an interactive system, such as a data visualization, the questions get even more interesting. With reVISit, you can now integrate an LLM-based chatbot directly into your study workflow. In this post, we walk through a working demo and show you how to adapt it for your own research.

Version 2.4 of reVISit is out – and for once it doesn’t pack a lot of new features. Rather, it’s all about quality of life: we fixed bugs, improved stability, and, most importantly, made the documentation much much better!

Scheduling one-on-one usability sessions is time-consuming, expensive, and hard to scale. With reVISit's screen recording and think-aloud audio features, you can run instrumented prototype studies asynchronously — participants navigate your Figma prototype while their screen and voice are captured, and you can run multiple participants at once!

We’re happy to share that our paper on reVISit 2 received a Best Paper Award at IEEE VIS 2025. ReVISit 2 is an open framework for designing, deploying, and disseminating browser-based visualization studies across the full experiment life cycle. In this post, we summarize the contributions of the paper, describe the replication studies that demonstrate the system’s capabilities, reflect on feedback from users, and outline how reVISit can support more reproducible and expressive experimental research.

Today we're announcing several new reVISit features that were released in versions 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. Major new features include an option to self-host data, remote screen-capture, a collaborative qualitative coding interface, and other features and improvements we're excited to share. For full details on the changes, look at the GitHub releases!

It's the start of a new year and we're excited to announce the release of reVISit v2.0 — just in time for your VIS 2025 submissions! We've been working hard to bring you a new and improved version of reVISit, and we can't wait for you to try it out.

You might have heard of reVISit before from our paper, or you might have seen a talk or participated in a meetup. But as of today, we’re excited to give the community a chance to run your own studies with reVISit with our 1.0 release – and CHI is just around the corner!
