About i247
The goal of information visualization is the unveiling of the underlying structure of large or abstract data sets using visual representations that utilize the powerful processing capabilities of the human visual perceptual system.
In this course, students learn how to COMMUNICATE information visually, EXPLORE and ANALYZE data visually, and ASSESS visual representations in a principled manner. They also develop an understanding of PRINCIPLES (cognitive and design) underlying visualization, and STANDARD representations and when to use them. Finally, students get exposure to history, research, and debates in the field.
