About the topic:

Information visualization has been defined as “the use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition” (Card, Mackinlay, & Shneiderman).  With the power of today’s desktop machines, complex and highly interactive visualizations have become readily available to everyone, even in a browser-based world.  Through selected examples, this discussion will explore the challenges such visualizations pose for both users and developers.  Come to share your own experience with visualization technology, or just to learn about recent trends.

Guest facilitator:  James Stokes

Mr. Stokes is a human-computer interaction specialist at CHI Systems and has worked with a number of different systems; both developing and evaluating visualizations.  He is currently working on map-, time-, and network-based visualizations for analysis in command and control contexts.
