E. Zudilova-Seinstra, T. Adriaansen, R. v. Liere (Eds.) Trends in Interactive Visualization State-of-the-Art Survey
The purpose of Interactive Visualization is to develop new scientific methods to increase scientists’ abilities to explore data and to under- stand better the results of experiments based on extensive calculations. These techniques not only provide users with a possibility to view the data but also permit them to use interaction capabilities to interrogate and navigate through datasets and communicate these insights. This book is a unique multi-disciplinary collection of scientific articles, which provides readers with insight in Interactive Visualization from various perspectives, representing the state-of-the-art with the special emphasis on: Advanced visualization algorithms and methods, Interactive data explora- tion, Display systems and interaction techniques, Multi-modal and collaborative visualization, Design and evaluation of interactive visualization tools and systems, Various application topics.
Features 7 First fully integrated book on Interactive Visualisation 7 Multi-disciplinary approach 7 Provides an overview of advanced visualisation algorithms and methods 7 Discusses principles for choosing appropriate display systems and input/output devices 7 Explores strategies for design and evaluation of interactive visualisa- tion and exploration tools 7 Presents successful case studies using virtual and augmented reality technologies
