Information visualization is not only about creating graphical displays of complex and latent information structures. It also contributes to a broader range of cognitive, social, and collaborative activities. This is the first book to examine information visualization from this perspective. This 2nd edition continues the unique and ambitious quest for setting information visualization and virtual environments in a unifying framework. It pays special attention to the advances made over the last 5 years and potentially fruitful directions to pursue. It is particularly updated to meet the need for practitioners. The book is a valuable source for researchers and graduate students.
Focusing on intellectual turning points, this work explores critical thinking, scientific discovery, and problem-solving. It presents a novel analytical and experimental system for both retrospective studies of scientific change and prospective contributions. Aimed at scientists and researchers in information and computer science, it offers fresh perspectives on creativity and transformative potential in scientific endeavors. Dr. Chaomei Chen, an Associate Professor at Drexel University, lends his expertise to this insightful examination.
