Abstract

This chapter discusses some possible ways of how professionals, researchers and users representing various knowledge domains are collecting and visualizing big data sets. First it describes communication through senses as a basis for visualization techniques, computational solutions for enhancing senses and ways of enhancing senses by technology. The next part discusses ideas behind visualization of data sets and ponders what is and what not visualization is. Further discussion relates to data visualization through art as visual solutions of science and mathematics related problems, documentation objects and events, and a testimony to thoughts, knowledge and meaning. Learning and teaching through data visualization is the concluding theme of the chapter. Edoardo L'Astorina provides visual analysis of best practices in visualization: An overlay of Google Maps that showed all the arrival times - in real time - of all the buses in your area based on your location and visual representation of all the Tweets in the world about TfL (Transport for London) tube lines to predict disruptions.
