in Stichpunkten beantwortet: Was hat die Visualisierung erforscht? - Die (visuelle) menschl. Wahrnehmung, was darüber hinaus?

Was hat die Visualisierung erforscht? - Die (visuelle) menschl. Wahrnehmung, was darüber hinaus?

Zusammenfassung der Recherche-Ergebnisse zu Visualisierung, Recherche-Ergebnisse zu Informationsvisualisierung, Interface-Design, UIs, Navigation, Human Perception Tidbits


Was hat die Visualisierung erforscht?

Einsicht: nicht alle Sinne sind gleichrangig: The critical insight of Cleveland was that not all perceptual channels are created equal: some have provably more representational power than others because of the constraints of the human perceptual system [CM84]. Mackinlay extended Cleveland's analysis with another key insight that the efficacy of a perceptual channel depends on the characteristics of the data [Mac86a]. (Munzner, Node 6)

Auch in anderen Feldern wurde an der Visualisierung geforscht: The field of computer-based information visualization draws on ideas from several intellectual traditions: computer science, psychology, semiotics, graphic design, cartography, and art. (Munzner, Node 6)

Computergrafik und human-computer interaction: The two main threads of computer science relevant for visualization are computer graphics and human-computer interaction. (Munzner, Node 6)

Questions about *visual*encoding* are even more central to information visualization than to scientific visualization. (Munzner, Node 6)

visual encoding taxonomies (= Metaphern entwickeln?): Several people have proposed visual encoding taxonomies, including Bertin [Ber83,Ber81], Cleveland [CM84] [Cle94, Chapter 4,], Mackinlay [CM97a,Mac86a,Mac86b] [CMS99, Chapter 1,], and Wilkinson [Wil99a]. [...] The literature contains many different names for these kinds of visual encodings: retinal variables, retinal attributes, elementary graphical perception tasks, perceptual tasks, perceptual dimensions, perceptual channels, display channels, display dimensions, and so on. (Munzner, Node 6)


laut Human Perception Tidbits außerdem:
  • auditive Wahrnehmung (Hören) [Folie 7],
  • Aufmerksamkeit [Folie 8],
  • Vor-Aufmerksamkeit ("präattentive")/Reflexe [Folie 9],
  • speziell: präattentive visuelle Wahrnehmung [Folien 10, 11, 12, 13],
  • noch spezieller: visuelle Dimensionen und Reihenfolge dieser Dimensionen [Folien 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]

Mglw. gibt es in den Herkunftsfeldern der Visualisierung – Informatik, Psychologie, Semiotik, Grafikdesign, Kartographie, Kunst (Quelle: Munzners PhD, Kapitel 1.2 Information Visualization, Satz 1) – weitere Forschungsfelder, die mit Visualisierung zu tun haben. — [20040711]  komplettes Snippet:
The field of computer-based information visualization draws on ideas from several intellectual traditions: computer science, psychology, semiotics, graphic design, cartography, and art. The two main threads of computer science relevant for visualization are computer graphics and human—computer interaction. The areas of cognitive and perceptual psychology offer important scientific guidance on how humans perceive visual information. A related conceptual framework from the humanities is semiotics, the study of symbols and how they convey meaning. Design, as the name suggests, is about the process of creating artifacts well-suited for their intended purpose. Cartographers have a long history of creating visual representations that are carefully chosen abstractions of the real world. Finally, artists have refined methods for conveying visual meaning in subdisciplines ranging from painting to cinematography.
