Items related to Information Visualization: Design for Interaction
"Information Visualization Design for Interaction, Second Edition" is written by Robert Spence. "Spence has completely reorganized the material, creating a significant revision that hinges on the three main concepts of representation, presentation, and interaction. [...] He writes with clarity and insight, carefully explaining the important ideas of the field as well as their significance." - From the Foreword by John Stasko, Georgia Institute of Technology. One of the greatest challenges of our time is to make sense of the overwhelming amount of information all around us. The concepts and techniques of Information Visualization (IV) help us to understand this deluge of data. The second edition of "Information Visualization" has been completely restructured to focus on core concepts and novel technologies that allow us to interact with information in new and exciting ways. Highlights of the Second Edition include: a new structure to enable readers to grasp key concepts more easily; a wealth of new Case Studies showing different applications of IV; new exercises to test your understanding; and, a DVD featuring video examples of IV in action. Robert Spence is Professor of Information Engineering at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London. He is widely recognized to be one of the pioneers of IV, and has taught the subject world-wide to both students and professionals.

From the Back Cover:
In a world awash with data there is an increasing need for effective methods of gaining insight into the underlying information. We need methods for visualizing information to support rapid learning and accurate decision making.
This is the first fully integrated book on the emerging discipline of information visualization. Its emphasis is on real-world examples and applications of computer-generated interactive information visualization. deals with the representation and presentation of concepts and data in a meaningful way. Depending on the medium used, information can be visualized in either traditional static form (e.g. a graph on a printed page) or the more recent and powerful interactive and dynamic forms that this book emphasizes.
This book is appropriate for students taking courses in information visualization, human-computer interaction, business information technology, and computer graphics. It is also appropriate for professionals in many areas- the Chief Executive Officer will be able to suggest ways of communicating ideas and concepts; decision makers will be exposed to new and potentially effective tools; investigative analysts, scientists and engineers will realize new ways of examining their data; and interaction designers will become familiar with the latest interactive visualization techniques.
FEATURES
· The first fully integrated full-colour text in this emerging field, using real-world examples and applications.
· The book stresses the new interactive and dynamic visualization techniques.
· Readers will learn how to display information to- pick out key information from large data streams; present ideas clearly and effectively; allow effective data exploration; and support effective decision making.
· The clear writing style makes this a widely accessible text.
Robert Spence is Professor of Information Engineering at the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, where he has been involved in research in human-computer interaction for over 30 years. Much of this research has involved innovation in information visualization. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
