<br>Visualizations are produced for people to make sense or interact with them. Rapid advances in display technology and computer power have enabled researchers to produce visually appealing pictures or compelling visual environments to end users. However, the effectiveness of those pictures in conveying embedded information to the users and impact of visual environments on humans have not been fully understood. <br>
<br>This book addresses issues related to design, evaluation and application of visualizations from a human centric perspective. This cutting-edge book is an edited volume whose contributors include experts worldwide, from diverse disciplines including psychologist, artists, engineers and scientists. <br>
<br>Academics, students, engineers and consultants will find this book useful for both research and engineering purposes. <br><br><br><b style>2. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:</b> <br>
