MAT 259 Visualizing Information Discipline Specific Definitions Media Arts and Technology Graduate Program UC Santa Barbara George Legrady 1

MAT 259 Visualizing Information Discipline Specific Visualizations Each discipline has a particular implementation goal Media Arts and Technology Graduate Program UC Santa Barbara George Legrady § Information Visualization: Analyzing and transforming nonspatial data into visual form for cognition § Scientific Visualization: Map physical phenomena in 2 D, or 3 D § Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Cartographic framework, a familiar way to map data § LIS: citation indexing, bibliographic indexing, etc. § Art: Aesthetics, complexity, culturally meaningful results § Architecture: to convey information & affect Winter 2009 2

MAT 259 Visualizing Information Visualization Media Arts and Technology Graduate Program UC Santa Barbara George Legrady § Visually map abstract, non-spatial data to analyze and understand data. § Focus on abstract data sets that do not have inherent 2 D or 3 D geometrical properties on their own § A general term that can cover a broad range of developments: data visualization, information graphics, knowledge visualization, etc. § A creative approach to convey abstract information in intuitive ways. § Involves processing of large datasets as a means to reveal meaningful patterns.
