Information Visualization : Our Perspective

Visuals have been the medium of communication from the early days of mankind. Initially pictures and lifelike glyphs were used as effective means of communicating concepts and ideas. With the advent of the written script, information moved from the visual to the textual domain.

In the current information age, the legacy of text remains. Growing computing power coupled with high bandwidth networks may have resulted in systems that may use images to highlight data contents. However very few applications use the complete power of visualization: Dynamically generated interactive visuals as a medium of communication with a user.

Visuals are understood faster and better by the human brain. Visuals generated by appropriate techniques expose patterns and trends by using techniques like coloring, shading clustering and filtering. Aviz is focussed on applying domain specific visualization techniques to create cognitively intuitive front-ends.
