Information Visualization Seminar Home
Professor: Jim Hollan
Seminar Participants:
Computers provide the most plastic medium for representation, communication, and interaction we have ever known. This plasticity and the myriad ways computers are now enmeshed in our lives and in the infrastructure of science and society present enormous challenges and opportunities.
For good and for ill, computationally-based forms of communication and interaction are changing the world in which we live and the ways we live and interact in the world. It is in their ability to augment our perceptual, conceptual, and social interactions that computers have had, and are likely to continue to have, their greatest impact. To understand this impact and ensure that computationally-based systems respect human needs and abilities are intellectual challenges of the highest order.
This seminar is an introduction to the new field of information visualization. The goal is not a comprehensive survey but rather to provide you with sufficient background to propose an original research project in an information visualization area you find of interest. Seminar meetings will be devoted to discussing readings, tools and techniques, and your developing proposal ideas. We will cover selected basic background readings and discuss possible research proposal topics. As the quarter progresses we will include additional readings chosen by seminar members to provide background for their proposals or projects.

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it. |
