Speaker: Benjamin Beer
Statistics play an important role in sports since they record events like goals, shots, yards, speeds, points, etc. Recording all these events leads to a huge amount of data which needs to be analyzed. Information visualization and sports visualization deal with ways and means how this data can be visualized. The data is used by different experts (coaches, players, media and fans) who are interested in different aspects of the data. Therefore, a goal of this master's thesis is to find out which parts of the data are interesting for the stakeholders. Based on this survey a prototype for the visualization of ice-hockey data will be implemented. Furthermore, it should be possible to view the proposed visualization methods on mobile devices.
