Information Visualization at U. Tx. The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.
Information visualization has a similar goal for elements in typically semantic domains.
Additionally, information visualization systems have often focused on tasks in which the user is engaged in information seeking behavior. This has led to a closely related goal of providing users richly interactive environments for information visualization. Our projects have explored information visualization and interactive environments for visualization primarily in the domain of document retrieval. The Information Navigator uses fisheye views of document collections and term relationships in an information retrieval system. The Document Explorer supplies an interactive 3-d information visualization and retrieval environment for document and term spaces.
