Visual Communication through Infographics
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Interaction techniques and visual representations allow users to view, explore and understand large amounts of information. The research made in Information Visualization area has focused on finding ways to render the abstract information in an more intuitive way. Infographics allows you to filter the information, establish relations between its components, find patterns and represent them in a manner that allows the consumer to assimilate knowledge in a faster and easier way. As infographics enter the on-line environment, the line between infography and software begins to blur. The ease of interpretation of information within an infographic is based on the fact that it uses a universal visual language. Lately we can use various tools for automatic representation and visualization of data. These tools facilitate the creation and distribution of infographics and make the transition from presentational to interactive graphics.
