Description:
"Information Visualization: The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition." (Card et al, 1999, p. 7) "Information visualization combines aspects of scientific visualization, human-computer interfaces, data mining, imaging, and graphics."(Gershon et al, 1998, p.10) With the advent of powerful computers and 3D modeling software, designers now have the tools to create complex visualizations that can be scaled and rotated to display the relationships and comparisons between data.
Other dynamic visualization formats:
Table lenses, hyperbolic trees and webs, multidimensional visualizations, orthogonal visualizations, fly-overs, fisheye lenses, distortion lenses
