This unique, multi-disciplinary volume provides an insight into an active and vital area of research - Interactive Visualization. Interactive Visualization enables the development of new scientific techniques to view data, and to use interaction capabilities to interrogate and navigate through datasets and better communicate the results.
A wide range of topics are covered in this important new book, representing the state of the art in this research area and providing a special emphasis on:
. Advanced data representation;
. Integration of visualization and modelling techniques;
. Novel user interfaces for data exploration and analysis;
. Virtual environments and collaborative visualization;
. Design and evaluation of interactive visualization tools and systems.
Students and researchers in scientific and information visualization, virtual reality, human-computer interaction, interface and interaction design, computer graphics and multimedia will find the book an excellent survey of this exciting field.
