The objectives of the course are: * Learn the principles involved in information visualization * Learn about the variety of existing techniques and systems in information visualization * Develop skills in critiquing different visualization techniques as applied to particular tasks * Learn how to evaluate visualization systems * Gain a background that will aid the design of new, innovative visualizations |
