And yet, a person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weaknesses, let alone on something one cannot do at all. Peter F. Drucker, Managing Oneself strengthweakness
The Eyes Have It A Research Paper by Ben Shneiderman www.cs.umd.edu The Visual Information Seeking Mantra visualizationinformationdata
The Visual Information Seeking Mantra There are many visual design guidelines but the basic principle might be summarized as the Visual Information Seeking Mantra: Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand Each line represents one project in which I found myself rediscovering this principle and therefore wrote it down it as a reminder. It proved to be only a starting point in trying to characterize the multiple information visualization innovations occurring at university, government, and industry research labs. visualizationinformation
