چکیده
Our ability to gain an understanding of phenomena in our lives, our world, and our universe is accelerated by the visualization of data. Likewise, our ability to communicate our newfound understanding is made possible by visualizing these phenomena and presenting these visualizations to others. The science and practice of visualizing data is maturing: while the visualization research community continues to develop and refine techniques for graphically encoding data and for interacting with these visualizations, there is a growing community of visualization practitioners, and with it, a growing audience for visualization content, particularly in the domains of journalism, public administration, and business intelligence. In response, the visualization research community must contribute guidance, ensuring that appropriate visualization techniques are chosen for particular data analysis tasks or communication intents. My academic background is in human-computer interaction and cognitive science, and over the last several years I have drawn from these disciplines to provide such guidance. My research has been grounded in the design and evaluation of visualization tools and techniques that address a specific application domain or a particular form of data. This applied research has not only inspired new and ongoing visualization technique development; it has also led to considerations for introducing people to novel or unfamiliar visualization techniques. p. 1 / 4
