Information visualization as creative nonfiction
Information visualizations are an important means through which we communicate knowledge. By considering visualizations as data-driven narratives, this thesis uses narrative thinking as an orienting concept to support the production and evaluation of information visualizations. It proposes a set of …

Information visualization for the people
The design of information visualization, defined as the interactive, graphical presentation of data, is on the verge of a significant paradigm shift brought on by the continued maturation of the Information Age. Its traditional role as a scientific tool deployed by rigorous data analysts is in the …

Bio-inspired Design and Information Visualization
… explore the potential of bio-inspired design for information visualization and seek to help fulfill information visualization’s goal of ‘amplifying cognition’ using design inspired by nature. I will directly investigate the different kinds of ways bio-inspired design might be useful. Of interest …

Visual encoding quality and scalability in information visualization
Information visualization seeks to amplify cognition through interactive visual representations of data. It comprises human processes, such as perception and cognition, and computer processes, such as visual encoding. Visual encoding consists in mapping data variables to visual variables, and its …

The Effects of Immersion on 3D Information Visualization
The effects of immersion with respect to information visualization have rarely been explored. In this thesis, we describe a methodology, two information visualization applications that were developed using the CAVE, and three user studies in order to explore, examine and attempt to quantify the …

Information Visualization for Exploration and Self-Reflection in Social Media
… This dissertation investigates the potential of information visualization to show people their social media data to gain awareness about their online social history. Unlike many visualizations for social media that use graph representations and focus on the structure of the network, our approach …

Information visualization of the stock market ticks : toward a new trading interface
… to represent with traditional graphical methods. Information-intensive disciplines such as medicine, bioinformatics, the earth sciences, and computational fluid dynamics have adopted modern visualization methods to manage and explore their respective mountains of data. Finance, however, has done …

Color Illusions on Liquid Crystal Displays and Design Guidelines for Information Visualization
… interventions and propose design guidelines for information visualization, especially where size judgment is critical. This study replicated the color size illusion and color depth illusion on an LCD monitor and it was found that yellow is the smallest and farthest color among red, yellow, green, …
