Information visualization

The area covered by this course is the most vividly evolving subdomain of computer visualization.

Unlike in medical visualization or scientific visualization, where the data is usually low-dimensional and has some inherent geometry, information visualization handles data with as much as hundreds of dimensions and usually without any physical coordinate system to relate to. It is hard to understand such abstract data with our limited mental faculties.

Information visualization helps to gain insight into to abstract and multidimensional relations hidden in real world data used in science or industry. The multimodality of data, the combination of computer graphics, computer science, geometry, psychology, art and aesthethics makes this area of visualization exciting and challenging.
