Synopsis:

In this course, you will get the knowledge of theoretical background

for visualization and the application of visualization in real-world

examples. The visualization methods are aimed at exploiting both the

full power of computer technologies and the characteristics (and

limits) of human perception. Well-chosen visualization methods can

help to reveal hidden dependencies in the data that are not evident at

the first glance. This in turn enables a more precise analysis of the

data, or provides a deeper insight into the core of the particular

problem represented by the data.
