A survey on Information Visualization in light of Vision and Cognitive sciences
Year: 2015
Type: preprint
Abstract: Information visualization techniques are built on a context with too many factors, making it di cult to systematically deal with their underlying bases. In the intent of promoting a better comprehension, here, we survey concepts on vision, cognition, and Information Visualization organized in a theorization named Visual Expression Model. With a reduced level of complexity, our model organizes the bases of visualization techniques; nevertheless, it is complete enough to discuss guidelines related to design and analytical tasks. Organized in a coherent account, our work introduces the following contributions: (1) Theoretical compilation of vision, cognition, and Information Visualization; (2) Meticulous discussions supported by vast literature; and (3) Recommendations to have visualizations satisfy visualcognitive aspects. We expect our contributions will improve the practice of InfoVis by promoting comprehension and by proposing the use of simple recommendations.
