Psychological Approaches to Data Visualisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of `data visualisation' is to display a body of information in a way which allows accurate and e ortless human comprehension and analysis. Accordingly, the development of data visualisation techniques should be constrained by an understanding of both human perception and cognition. This report develops and examines a psychological framework for the development of data visualisation techniques based on the notion of similarity structure modelling. Through a series of case studies, a range of established approaches to data visualisation is reviewed and evaluated within this framework, and a number of suggestions for the development of new techniques is made.

Process and Processor Interaction: Architecture Independent Visualisation Schema
The enormous quantities of trace data available to the user of parallel systems overwhelms most traditional data presentation approaches. This paper proposes a model that combines visual and audio stimuli to organise and present data. The psychological basis for this model is presented, and the implications for applicability and implementation explored. A practical implementation of this model ...

متن کاملExploring the digital commons: an approach to the visualisation of large heritage datasets
Visualisation of complex datasets is often designed to assist communication and to make that data more visually accessible (Friendly and Denis, 2006). In some recent approaches to data visualisation, the goal of visualising datasets is not to reveal a single underlying ‘truth’ that hides in complex data, but rather to visualise the structure of the data itself, to ‘show everything’ and see what...
