Résumé

Information Visualization is the first book to combine a strictly scientific approach to human perception with a consistently practical concern for the rules governing the effective visual presentation of information. Readers can apply these principles to optimize visual information for consumption by others. They can also improve their own analyses by adopting display strategies that make data patterns and their significance easier to discern. Because it focuses on the psychological and physiological principles underlying perception, this book transcends the approaches to visual display that have evolved separately in individual disciplines.
Information Visualization will
interest scientists from many fields and professionals in all areas that rely on graphical representation as a key to
successful analysis and communication: computer graphics, user interface design, data mining, and many others.

Key Features:

Offers practical guidelines that can be applied by anyone: user interface/interaction designers, financial
analysts, data miners, even managers faced with information-intensive challenges
Covers all facets of visual perception: color, organization, space, motion, texture
Supports its points with numerous illustrations, including over forty color images

L'auteur - Colin Ware

Colin Ware

takes the "visual" in visualization very seriously. Colin Ware has advanced degrees in both computer science (MMath, Waterloo) and the psychology of perception (Ph.D., Toronto). He has published over ninety articles in scientific and technical journals and at leading conferences, many of which relate to the use of color, texture, motion, and 3D in information visualization. In addition to his research, Professor Ware also builds useful visualization software systems. He has been involved in developing 3D interactive visualization systems for ocean mapping for over twelve years, and he directed the development of the NestedVision3D system for visualizing very large networks of information.
