1 Information Visualization Crash Course (AKA Information Visualization 101) Chad Stolper Assistant Professor Southwestern University (graduated from Georgia Tech CS PhD) 1

2 What is Infovis? Why is it Important? Human Perception Chart Basics (If Time, Some Color Theory) The Shneiderman Mantra Where to Learn More 9

3 Questions Encouraged! 10

4 What is Information Visualization? 12

5 Information Visualization The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition. Card, Mackinlay, and Shneiderman

29 So, communication is extremely important. Visualization can help with that. 41

30 42

31 Visualization can also help with Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) 43

32 There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. 44

33 Mystery Data Set 45

45 Human Perception 58

46 Name the five senses. 60

48 A (Simple) Model of Human Visual Perception 62

49 A (Simple) Model of Human Perception Stage 1 Stage 2 Parallel detection of basic features into an iconic store Serial processing of object identification and spatial layout 63

50 Stage 1: Pre-Attentive Processing Rapid Parallel Automatic (Fleeting) 64

51 Stage 2: Serial Processing Relatively Slow (Incorporates Memory) Manual 65

52 Stage 1: Pre-Attentive Processing The eye moves every 200ms 66

53 Stage 1: Pre-Attentive Processing The eye moves every 200ms (so this processing occurs every 200ms-250ms) 67

54 Example

55 Example

56 A few more examples from Prof. Chris Healy at NC State 70

61 Color (hue) is pre-attentively processed. 75

62 Raise your hand if a RED DOT is present 76

63 77

64 78

65 Shape is pre-attentively processed. 79

66 Determine if a RED DOT is present 80

67 81

68 82

69 Hue and shape together are NOT pre-attentively processed. 83

70 Pre-Attentive Processing length width size curvature number terminators intersection closure hue lightness flicker direction of motion binocular lustre stereoscopic depth 3-D depth cues lighting direction 84
