Information visualization

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

See also Data visualization, Mathematical visualization, and Scientific visualization.

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
