As a subject in computer science, information visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition. Information visualization is a complex research area. It builds on theory in information design, computer graphics, human-computer interaction and cognitive science. Practical application of information visualization in computer programs involves selecting, transforming and representing abstract data in a form that facilitates human interaction for exploration and understanding. Important aspects of information visualization are the interactivity and dynamics of the visual representation. Strong techniques enable the user to modify the visualization in real-time, thus affording unparalleled perception of patterns and structural relations in the abstract data in question. Although much work in information visualization regards to visual forms, auditory and other sensory representations are also of concern. ==Academic Journal== [http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ivs/ Information Visualization] ==Academic Conferences== One of the top academic conferences for new research in information visualization is the annually held IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis).
