Questions and Answers

What does Information Visualization refer to?

  • The use of manual, static visual representations of abstract data sets to amplify human cognition
  • The use of computer-supported, interactive visual representations of abstract data sets to enhance human cognition (correct)
  • The use of computer-supported, static visual representations of concrete data sets to analyze human cognition
  • The use of manual, interactive visual representations of abstract data sets to analyze human cognition

    • What is the main focus of Information Visualization?

  • Creating static representations of abstract data
  • Transforming data into visual representations using computers (correct)
  • Converting abstract data into textual form
  • Analyzing concrete data sets manually

    • What does 'interactive' mean in the context of Information Visualization?

  • The visual representations change automatically based on user input
  • The visual representations are static and cannot be altered
  • The user can change what is visualized and how it is visualized (correct)
  • The user can only passively view the visual representations
