Data Visualization

An overview is given of work of the visualization group of Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. One focus of the group is to develop new visual representations that convey large amounts of data or complex phenomena effectively in short time, using techniques from computer graphics. Examples are presented using animations and demos. Most of these concern information visualization, dealing with abstract data for applications such as software engineering and business
applications, but also examples of visual analytics, geovisualization, and mathematical visualization are shown.
