Objectives Students understand the challenges in data visualization and will be able to design visualizations on their own. Visualization can be defined as the communication of information using graphical representations. In this course students will learn how information, such as graphs, text, tables, and maps can be effectively presented as well as analyzed by a user. In a practical lab part, students will have the chance to apply the theoretical knowledge to the design and implementation of an information visualization system by using real-world data.
Subject Introduction to information visualization (definition, visualization process, historical aspects), perception and cognition, data foundations, high-dimensional data visualization, geospatial data visualization, visualization of time-oriented data, document and text visualization, graph visualization (trees, graphs, networks), visualization on the web, interaction techniques, visualization frameworks, collaborative visualization, applications of information visualization.
Criteria for evaluation Written exam (oral exam in exceptional cases), practical lab assignment
Methods Slide presentations with case studies; practical lab assignment
Language English
