[iDC] Theories of Information Visualization

[Simon Biggs]

In this context have a look at Alan Blackwell¹s work:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~afb21/vital/index.html
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~afb21/CognitiveDimensions/index.html
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/

Alan¹s work turns the idea of visualisation on its head. Rather than looking
at how data can be visualised using computer modelling this looks at how
visual information can be used to build computer (and other kinds of)
models.

Best

This is not exactly what you are looking for lilly but it might be useful
anyway.  Last year with Eric Gilbert's help I tried to teach: what you need
to see if you want to learn about visualization and you only have two class
meetings.  This appears in the syllabus for my graduate course, "Unorthodox
Research Methods."  Scroll down to the meetings marked: Visualization I and
II (10/30, 11/06).  

Unorthodox Research Methods

This list of readings and visualizations worked OK but I would love any
additional suggestions.
