DESCRIPTION:
Surveying the researchof leading psychologists and neurophysiologists, the author isolateskey principles at work in vision and perception, and from them, derivesspecific, effective visualization techniques, suitable for a wide rangeof scenarios. It will prove afascinating, practical resource for anyone who uses graphicalpresentation as a key to successful analysis and communication:graphic artists, user interface/interaction designers, financialanalysts, data miners, and managers faced with information-intensivechallenges. This is the first book to combine a strictly scientific approach tohuman perception with a practical concern for the rules governing theeffective visual presentation of information. * Expla
He has published over a hundred articles in scientific and technical journals and at leading conferences, many of which relate to the use of color, texture, motion, and 3D in information visualization. Colin Ware has advanced degrees in both computer science (MMath, Waterloo) and the psychology of perception (Ph.D., Toronto). He has been involved in developing 3D interactive visualization systems for ocean mapping for over twelve years, and he directed the developmen
Most designers know that yellow text presented against a blue background reads clearly and easily, but how many can explain why? Information Visualization: Perception for Design explores the art and science of why we see objects the way we do. Serious interface designers, presentation designers, data analyzers, or any artist tasked with presenting ideas in a visual format, though, should come away from Information Visualization with a clearer understanding of the inner workings of perception. Although more technical than most graphic design books, the book "is intended to make the data from the science and study of visualization available to the non-specialist." Each chapter focuses on a different facet of human vision, like "Lightness, Brightness, Contrast, and Constancy" in chapter 3, or "Static and Moving Patterns" in chapter 4. At the very least, they'll be able to explain why yellow text against blue is a good combination. --Mike Caputo. As a result, the boo
A Customer said Intelligent building blocks of information viz. This a well-written work revealing the fundamental rules of perception that are applicable in info viz and design. If you are looking for elaborate examples or brochureware, this is not for you. Focus is on basic principles (such as the gestalt rules, kinetic motion organization, visual ability. Excellent for the beginner or academic. Advanced info designers/architects may find it a little lean, but trust me, it's still worth it as a refresher and knowledge-base builder (I felt I still learned a few things).The only main drawback may be book quality. Only a few color plates in the center make for a visually. "Excellent, despite its flaws" according to A Customer. Ware's book provides a technically accurate and well-written overview of the gamut of issues pertaining to information visualization -- from basic visual anatomy and physiology to techniques for creating effective displays from multidimensional data.Yes, it's "introductory" in nature, but it's the most comprehensive introduction I've seen to this complex and emerging field. It would make an excellent reference or textbook.The 5-star content gets Excellent, despite its flaws A Customer Ware's book provides a technically accurate and well-written overview of the gamut of issues pertaining to information visualization -- from basic visual anatomy and physiology to techniques for creating effective displays from multidimensional data.Yes, it's "introductory" in nature, but it's the most comprehensive introduction I've seen to this complex and emerging field.
