<p>192.168.1.1: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Definition|'''Information visualization ''(InfoVis)''''' produces (interactive) visual representations of [[abstract data]] to reinforce human cognition and [[perception]]; thus enabling the viewer to gain knowledge about the internal structure of the data and causal relationships in it.}}<br /> <br /> == Definitions ==<br /> <br /> {{Quotation|The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition.|[Card et al., 1998]}}<br /> <br /> {{Quotation|Information visualization, an increasingly important subdiscipline within HCI , focuses on graphical mechanisms designed to show the structure of information and improve the cost of access to large data repositories. In printed form, information visualization has included the display of numerical data (e.g., bar charts, plot charts, pie charts), combinatorial relations (e.g., drawings of graphs), and geographic data (e.g., encoded maps). Computer-based systems, such as the information visualizer and dynamic queries have added interactivity and new visualization techniques (e.g., 3D, animation).|[Averbuch, 2004]}}<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Application of information visualization on the computer involves providing means to transform and represent data in a form that allows and encourages human interaction. Data can therefore be analyzed by [[exploratory data analysis|''exploration'']] rather than pure reasoning; users can develop understanding for structures and connections in the data by observing the immediate effects their interaction has upon the visualization.<br /> <br /> [[Image:zook_large.gif|right|thumb|250px|Information Visualization Example]][[Image:boom.gif|right|thumb|250px|Visualization of a directory structure using a botanical model]]<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> <br /> Information visualization is applied in countless areas covering every industry and all tasks where understanding of the intrinsic structure in data is crucial.<br /> <br /> Some prominent examples are:<br /> *Economical/financial analysis<br /> *Representation of large hierarchies<br /> *Medical training/assistance<br /> *Engineering/Physics<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> *[Averbuch, 2004]: Michael Averbuch, ''As you Like It: Tailorable Information Visualization'', Database Visualization Research Group, Tufts University, 2004.<br /> *[Card et al., 1998]: Card, S. and Mackinlay, J. and Shneiderman, B., Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think, Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, 1998.<br /> *[Voigt, 2002]: Robert Voigt, [http://www.vrvis.at/vis/resources/DA-RVoigt/node4.html ''Classification and Definition of Terms''], 2002.<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> *http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/ has a lot of (positive and negative) examples including historical milestones.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Glossary]]</div>

<p>192.168.1.1: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Definition|'''Magic Lens&trade;''' filters are a user interface tool that combine an arbitrarily-shaped region with an operator that changes the view of objects viewed through that region.}}<br /> <br /> {{Quotation|The notion of the Magic Lens was introduced in Toolglass and Magic Lenses by Eric Bier et. al., and a similar idea was presented as the Portal Filter in Perlin and Fox’s paper from the same conference. A Magic Lens is a transparent or semi-transparent user interface element which can be placed over objects to change their appearance and/or their interactive behavior|[Fox, 1998]}}<br /> <br /> Showing a modified view of the selected ''[[region of interest]]'' while leaving the rest of the visualization unchanged, these tools extend the metaphor of a magnifying glass to include any sort of useful visual transformation of application data.

An important initial result was the discovery of a limited set of visual properties that are detected very rapidly and accurately by the low-level visual system. These properties were initially called preattentive, since their detection seemed to precede focused attention. We now know that attention plays a critical role in what we see, even at this early stage of vision. The term preattentive continues to be used, however, since it conveys an intuitive notion of the speed and ease with which these properties are identified. Typically, tasks that can be performed on large multi-element displays in less than 200 to 250 milliseconds (msec) are considered preattentive. Eye movements take at least 200 msec to initiate, and random locations of the elements in the display ensure that attention cannot be prefocused on any particular location, yet viewers report that these tasks can be completed with very little effort. This suggests that certain information in the display is processed in parallel by the low-level visual system.|}}<br /> <br /> Taking advantage of preattentive processing in [[information visualization]] can greatly improve intuitiveness of representations yielding in a faster and more natural way of acquiring information.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> *A.
