Product Description

Review

"This unique and essential guide to human visual perception and related cognitive principles will enrich courses on information visualization and empower designers to see their way forward. Ware's updated review of empirical research and interface design examples will do much to accelerate innovation and adoption of information visualization."
-Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland

"Colin Ware is the perfect person to write this book, with a long history of prominent contributions to the visual interaction with machines and to information visualization directly. It goes a long way towards joining science to the practical design of information visualization systems."
-from the foreword by Stuart Card, PARC

"Better than anyone else that I've encountered in my work, Colin Ware explains how visual perception works and how it applies to data presentation." - Stephen Few -- Intelligent Enterprise


Product Description

Most designers know that yellow text presented against a blue background reads clearly and easily, but how many can explain why, and what really are the best ways to help others and ourselves clearly see key patterns in a bunch of data?

This book explores the art and science of why we see objects the way we do. Based on the science of perception and vision, the author presents the key principles at work for a wide range of applications--resulting in visualization of improved clarity, utility, and persuasiveness. The book offers practical guidelines that can be applied by anyone: interaction designers, graphic designers of all kinds (including web designers), data miners, and financial analysts.

*First work to use the science of perception to help serious designers and analysts optimize understanding and perception of their data visualizations.

* Major revision of this classic work, with a new chapter on visual thinking, new sections on face perception and flow visualization, and a much expanded chapter on color and color sequences.

*New to this edition is the full color treatment throughout, to better display over 400 illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all, 25 Feb 2002
... This is the book I would have liked to have written. It is an overview of the perceptual factors that should be taken into account when preparing visualisations. It is not a step-by-step account of how to do a specific visualisation, but notes on what to think about and some nice examples of visualisations from various fields.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely terrible., 2 Sep 2001
By A Customer
A poorly organized mish-mash of facts and opinions with little evidence of real purpose to the writing and no visible direction. Dreadful. The author seems incapable of deciding when and where to discuss each of the topics he wishes to include but jumps back and forth seemingly at random never completing any one of them or providing enough information to give the reader any insight at all into the topic of information visualization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 1 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This is a great book, covering important perceptual issues that are relevant when designing information visualisations. I particularly liked the discussion on the Gestalt laws. As a computer scientist, this book provided an accessible psychological prospective into the world of information visualisation.

I recommend it as a companion to Robert Spence's book on Information Visualisation and the book by Card, Mackinlay and Shneiderman (buy all three).
