Hi everyone,
Charles Perin will give a talk this coming Thursday 14 December, at 2PM in BA5187. Details below:
Small, Manipulable, and Slow data visualization Visualization is not just a way of creating pretty pictures for business purposes and marketing. In this talk I will discuss the power of interactive visualizations for exploring and making sense of data. I will focus on the importance of sense of control, engagement and understanding that provides (slow) data manipulation.
Bio: I am a Lecturer (eq. Assistant Professor) in the giCentre, Department of Computer Science at City, University of London. I conduct research at the intersection of information visualization and human computer interaction. I am particularly interested in designing and studying new interactions for visualizations and in understanding how people may make use of and interact with visualizations in their everyday lives. Before joining City, I was a Post-doc at University of Calgary. I obtained my PhD on Direct Manipulation for Information Visualization, at Université Paris Sud-XI in 2014.
