Webinar: Data Visualization

Note that this webinar will be held in English.

As HCI Pioneer Stuart Card once said: “Data Visualization should be for the mind, what cars are for the feet.” Yet, all too often, data visualizations are reduced to non-functional eye candy that does not yield the deep insights into the data that it could and should. In this informal yet informative talk, you are invited to go beyond the common understanding of visualization to present and monitor data and dive into visualization as a tool for interactive data exploration and analysis.

We’ll examine the types of problems data visualization excels at solving and examine some of the most advanced visualization solutions. We’ll discuss real-world use cases and where the current cutting edge of research is in data visualization. Finally, we’ll introduce three little-known yet straightforward and effective visualization techniques that you can use immediately for time-oriented data.

This webinar will be the first step toward a physical one-day workshop on professional data visualization on June 11th. In this workshop, you’ll get hands-on with the tools, and you will be able to create new ways of solving problems and making decisions with data. Read about the workshop here
