Visualising Information StructuresKeith Andrews, IICM, Graz University of Technology, Austria Information visualisation seeks to take advantage of the human visual perception system's ability to rapidly process graphical displays, making the presented information and its associated structure both rapidly understood and easily explored. This talk will look both at general principles for information visualisation and at specific examples of techniques under development at the IICM. Biography Keith Andrews is an assistant professor at the Institute for Information Processing and Computer Supported New Media (IICM) at Graz University of Technology, in Austria. His research interests include hypermedia, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and the web. He holds a B.Sc.(Hons) in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of York, England, and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Technical Mathematics/Computer Science from Graz University of Technology. Having lead the Harmony (Unix/X11 browser for Hyperwave) and VRwave VRML browser projects for several years, he is currently pursuing research in the emerging field of information visualisation. He teaches a graduate-level course on Human-Computer Interaction. |
