Sorry, this was supposed to post yesterday.
This week’s recommended resource is a book from Chaimei Chen called simply “Information Visualization“. Covering virtual environments, visualization, integration and more, it’s a great book for researchers and graduate students getting started in the field.
The last five years have produced increasingly sophisticated techniques within Information Visualization, which in turn instrumentally improved our understanding of many complex phenomena. Virtual environments provide a particularly stimulating context for us to understand theoretical and practical implications of various information visualization features and fundamental issues. Information visualization is not only accessible to the user from a computer screen, but also embedded in a collaborative, systematic, and integrative environment. Information Visualization and Virtual Environments is the first book that examines information visualization in a broader context. This 2nd edition continues the unique and ambitious quest for setting information visualization and virtual environments in a unifying framework. The new edition is particularly updated to meet the need for practitioners, including new chapters and thoroughly updated chapters on the latest advances and potentially fruitful challenges to pursue. The book is also a valuable source for researchers and graduate students.
