Information Visualization

Information visualization (InfoVis) produces (interactive) visual representations of abstract data to reinforce human cognition; thus enabling the viewer to gain knowledge about the internal structure of the data and causal relationships in it.

Information visualization (InfoVis) is the communication of abstract data through the use of interactive visual interfaces. [Keim et al., 2006]

Definitions

[Plaisant, 2001]

{{{2}}}

The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition.

[Card et al., 1999]

Information visualization utilizes computer graphics and interaction to assist humans in solving problems.

[Purchase et al., 2008, p. 58]

Information visualization is a set of technologies that use visual computing to amplify human cognition with abstract information.

[Card, 2008, p. 542]

Information visualization promises to help us speed our understanding and action in a world of increasing information volumes.

[Card, 2008, p. 542]

The purpose of information visualization is to amplify cognitive performance, not just to create interesting pictures. Information visualizations should do for the mind what automobiles do for the feet.

[Card, 2008, p. 539]

Information visualizations attempt to efficiently map data variables onto visual dimensions in order to create graphic representations.

[Gee et al., 2005]

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]

Visual representations of the semantics, or meaning, of information. In contrast to scientific visualization, information visualization typically deals with nonnumeric, nonspatial, and high-dimensional data.

[Chen, 2005]

A method of presenting data or information in non-traditional, interactive graphical forms. By using 2-D or 3-D color graphics and animation, these visualizations can show the structure of information, allow one to navigate through it, and modify it with graphical interactions.

[UIUC DLI, 1998]

As a subject in computer science, information visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition.
Information visualization is a complex research area. 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.
Important aspects of information visualization are the interactivity and dynamics of the visual representation. Strong techniques enable the user to modify the visualization in real-time, thus affording unparalleled perception of patterns and structural relations in the abstract data in question.
Although much work in information visualization regards to visual forms, auditory and other sensory representations are also of concern.

The study of how to effectively present information visually. Much of the work in this field focuses on creating innovative graphical displays for complicated datasets, such as census results, scientific data, and databases. An example problem would be deciding how to display the pages on a website or the files on a hard disk. Visualization techniques include selective hiding of data, layering data, taking advantage of 3-dimensional space, using scaling techniques to provide more space for more important information (e.g. Fisheye views), and taking advantage of psychological principles of layout, such as proximity, alignment, and shared visual properties (e.g. color).

involves abstract, nonspatial data

[Tory and M?ller, 2004]

In information visualization, the graphical models may represent abstract concepts and relationships that do not necessarily have a counterpart in the physical world, e.g., information describing user accesses to pages of an Internet portal or records describing selected properties of different car brands and models. Typically, each data unity describes multiple related attributes (usually more than four) that are not of a spatial or temporal nature. Although spatial and temporal attributes may occur, the data exists in an abstract (conceptual) data space.

[Ferreira and Levkowitz, 2003]

Overview

Application of information visualization on the computer involves providing [lololwww.url.vn/2.html/ thiet ke web] means to transform and represent data in a form that allows and encourages human interaction. Data can therefore be analyzed by exploration rather than pure reasoning; users [lololwww.vitaminddeficiencyonline.com/ Vitamin D] [lololwww.seo.url.vn/2.html/ dich vu seo] can develop understanding for structures and connections in the data by observing the immediate effects their interaction has upon the visualization.

Information Visualization Example

Visualization of a directory structure using a botanical model

Examples

Information visualization is applied in countless areas covering every industry [lololwww.vietnamairlinestickets.com/2.html/ Vietnam Airlines] and all tasks where understanding of the intrinsic structure in data is crucial.

Some prominent examples are:

• Economical/financial analysis
• Representation of large hierarchies
• Medical training/assistance
• Engineering/Physics
