Visual Analytics Visual Analytics
“Science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces.” (Thomas:2005)
Synergy between human and machine analysis Synthesize information to detect important features in
massive datasets “Detect the expected and discover the unexpected”
(Thomas:2005) Presenting data in a way such that the human
mind is able to efficiently process

Research Objective Build a human centric approach for visual analytics of
large scale multi-dimensional data sets Develop visceral interfaces for interacting with these
data sets in new and intuitive ways Promote collaborative workspaces for a synergistic
research environment
Hypothesis By combining large scale data visualization with natural
interfaces, researchers will be able to expedite scientific analysis.
