Description:
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.
