| | Information visualization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As a subject in computer science, information visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition. | | | It builds on theory in information design, computer graphics, human-computer interaction and cognitive science. | | | Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves selecting, transforming and representing abstract data in a form that facilitates human interaction for exploration and understanding. |

| | Information Visualization |
| | Information visualization, building user interfaces to interact with information, is crucial to the success of the information revolution and will enable users from all walks of life to use the information highway easily and efficiently. | | | We would like to foster a presentation of information visualization and human-information interaction, and how advances in interactive computer graphics hardware, mass storage, and data visualization could be used to visualize information and aid in knowledge discovery. | | | In contrast to Scientific Visualization, the focus of Information Visualization is on non-geometric data or information, such as is produced in business and commercial environments. |

| | User-defined visualizations of databases are also addressed by the OPOSSUM project at Wisconsin [21] and the Multiparadigmatic Visual Query project at the Universities of Rome and Pittsburg [7]. | | | In databases, visualization was first used for displaying the schema and/or the database instances and to express visual queries [4]. | | | Information visualization, an increasingly important subdiscipline within HCI [24], focuses on graphical mechanisms designed to show the structure of information and improve the cost of access to large data repositories. |

| | About Visualization - PNNL Infoviz |
| | Information Visualization is a highly efficient way for the mind to directly perceive data and discover knowledge and insight from it. | | | Information Visualization is the direct visualization of a representation of selected features or elements of complex multi-dimensional data. | | | Visualization can be used with virtually any kind of information. |

| | The goal of the seminar is not a comprehensive survey of information visualization but rather to help prepare you to propose an original research project in an information visualization area you find of interest. | | | We may be in the midst of a paradigm shift in how to think about information, one that starts to view information as being much more dynamic and reactive to the nature of our tasks, activities, and even relationships with others. | | | Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it. |
