Information Visualisation

with Jonathan Greenwood

30thNov '05

About the event

There is more and more information around us but seemingly less time to interpret it. How can we convey complex data in an intuitive way, taking advantage of our pattern recognition abilities? Information visualisation is a field of growing importance as more information needs to be interpreted, sometimes dynamically, by the general population.

Many successful examples of information visualisation have been implemented, such as tree-mapping and heat mapping especially in the financial sector.Jonathan Greenwood guided us through this fascinating area to show how complex information can be conveyed most simply and effectively, showing examples (both good and bad) from various application areas, and guidelines on developing clear visualisations.
