| Course Description
|
A lecture and lab course to explore the visual organization
of information. Lectures, readings and technical demos will focus on a
range of conceptual models of data visual mapping as implemented in various
disciplines, artistic, statistical and scientific.. There are 3 projects to realize: 2D linear frequency mapping; 2D spatial treemap; 3D spatial, or time-based animation.
Course requires 2 reference books: Ben Fry's is online, and there is a desk copy for the Graphics of Large Datasets by Unwin, etc. See other recommended references at end of syllabus.
