Preface
Massive increases in data sizes and ongoing improvements in computational performance have created an urgent need for new systems that enable users to explore complex datasets and computations in an intuitive and flexible manner. The field of Interactive Visualization studies how people interact with computers to create visual representation of information and how this process can be made more efficient. With this book, we have tried to compile a comprehensive overview of this young research field. The book is a state-of-the-art survey of studies on Interactive Visualization. It examines research topics advancing the field, presents insightful findings and novel ideas, and describes applications across multiple disciplines. The book is intended for a broad audience and collects multidisciplinary articles that give readers insight into Interactive Visualization from various perspectives. For instance, visualization experts can consult this book to find advanced methods for solving particular problems. Interaction designers will become familiar with the latest interaction techniques and input devices to perform visual exploration tasks. Scientists and engineers will realize new ways to examine complex datasets. Usability experts will be exposed to new a
