Session 1
Topic: User-Centered Data Visualization
Speaker: Dr. Tobias Komischke
“Get rid of numbers and get me some graphics!” Data Visualization is an ongoing trend in the industry because presenting data graphically allows for quicker understanding for those who interpret the data. Yet, from a usability angle some visualization forms are better suited than others for specific questions and uses. Also, applying standard software ergonomic rules like color treatments, label orientation, etc. can significantly boost the effectiveness of visualization.
This presentation provides an overview of the topic and shows through many examples what you should look for when designing data visualizations.
