The course will give
the participants a working knowledge of effective visualization approaches
for presenting information and data. Visual representation of information
requires merging of data visualization methods, computer graphics, design,
and imagination. In contrast with scientific data, i.e. spatially or geometrically
based data, information spaces are more abstract and different from physical
data spaces and thus require different visualization approaches. The course
will cover various types of data and information, browsing and searching,
large document collections, and small and large databases. The attendees
will learn how to make sense of data and information with visualization.
Practical applications will be illustrated using specific case studies.
The course highlights the process of producing effective visualizations,
making sense of information, taking users' needs into account, and illustrating
good practical visualization procedures in specific case studies.
More specifically,
the course will cover the following topics:
- What is visualization
including examples driving research and development
- Visualization basics
- Perceptual basis
of information visualization
- 3D visualization
and visualization of spatial data and information
- Case studies including
scientific data applications (e.g., visualization of geological data,
flow visualization) and Web visualization methods
- Conclusions and
a round table discussion on how to make visualization work in your environment.
Course Fee:
65 Euro (including one-day course, course material, refreshments and lunch)
