Information visualization or information visualisation is the study of (interactive) visual representations of abstract data to reinforce human cognition.

Description

The abstract data include both numerical and non-numerical data, such as text and geographic information.

Scientific visualization

Information visualization differs from scientific visualization:

  • Information visualization: the spatial representation is chosen
  • Scientific visualization: the spatial representation is given
