Question

wjo or what is responsible for finding the information represented ina visualization

Answer 1

Solution:-

Information visualization is the process that represents the data in a visually meaningful way so that any user can understand it in a better way. Some common examples of information visualization could be dashboards and scatter plots. It also helps or allows users to draw insights from an abstract data in more efficient and effective manner as it makes the data digestible and turns any raw information into an actionable insights. The field had emerged from human-computer interaction, visual design, computer science, and cognitive science etc. Just for the sake of understanding you can though of world map-style representations, line graphs, and 3-D virtual building or town plan designs etc.

The process starts with a deep understanding of information and with keeping target audience in the mind. For this purpose and also to increase the quality, process like GD, or interviews are organized to reveal how, when, and where the visualization will be used. Considering all insights, a designer then can determine which form of data organization is needed for achieving the users’ goals. The process than looks like an organized information (for understanding of user) followed by applying the same to reach the goals. Users are having that command to view topics from different perspectives, and manipulate their visualizations of these until they reach the desired insights that suits there views. Visualization techniques are the next tools a designer brings out to use like for e.g., maps and graphs, along with appropriate labels, and some visual parameters such as color, contrast, distance, and size to create an appropriate visual hierarchy and a visual path through the information. The feature of interactivity, especially in any website or application thus been increased. Thus, results in visual by users, that are highly effective to support their needs under interactive information visualization.

Just for an example if you suppose search for a location in map on your phone. You would come across as a first representation which consists of written instructions on how to go from here to there and you will notice that you are able to see that it’s a pretty simple drive (if you are driving of course) though it’s worth noting that it would be more complex in reality. Secondly, representing an image of the route itself imposed on that map. Now to above Information visualization can be stated as highly effective one if someone is on the way to meeting or for a tourist who intends not to drive straight from A to B but rather wants to know “what all are on the way”. To conclude both of these representations represents information visualization with the first one relying on clear simple instructions and the minimum of graphical content by which it conveys a simple set of useful instructions and the second one conveying more information in a visual form that allows for fast and good cognitive processing that will surely enable for quick digest.

To say some of the common use of information visualization, those can be Presentation ( a visual representation can help someone undajfkerstand concepts easily that might otherwise be impossible to explain.) then Explorative Analysis ( allows to see where relationships among the data may exist.) and finally Confirmation Analysis ( helps to confirm our understanding and analysis of data).

Thus as a final call we can say that Information visualization is designed to mainly help us to make sense out of data by combining relationships, confirmation and explanation in order to easily understood by user.
