is any technique for creatingimages, diagrams, or

animations to communicate a

message.

Visualization through visual

imagery has been an effective

way to communicate bothabstract and concrete ideas

since the dawn of man.

VisualizationCurrent visualization

technology provides a full range

of hardware and techniques

from static two-dimensional

plots, to interactive three-dimensional images projected

onto a monitor, to large screen

fully immersive systems

allowing the user to interact on

a human scale.

Geographic Information

Systems (GIS) - allows users to

capture, manage, analyze, and

display geographically

referenced information

Gapminder.com - represents

statistical data in graphicallydynamic ways.

Information VisualizationTools

Google Earth - allows users to view

geographical space from different

angles and distances through the

use of superimposed satellite

imagery. It also allows users toimport publicly available datasets

and map them geographically.

JMOL - allows users to view the

chemical structure of molecules in

3-D.

Visual Communication

Visual communication as the name

suggests is communication throughvisual aid and is described as the

conveyance of ideas and information

in forms that can be read or lookedupon.

Itis primarily presented or expressed

with 2D or 3D images: signs, drawing,

typography, graphic design, color,

illustration, and electronic resources.

Animation

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of

images to create an illusion of movement.

Animation can be made with either hand rendered

art, computer generated imagery, or three-

dimensional objects, e.g. puppets or clay figures,or a combination of techniques.

Interactive Visualization

For a visualization to be considered

interactive it must satisfy two criteria:1.Human input: control of some aspect

of the visual representation of

information, or of the information

being represented, must be availableto a human, and

2.Response time: changes made by the

human must be incorporated into the

visualization in a timely manner. In

general, interactive visualization is

considered a soft real-time task.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is a

field that attempts to provide

machines with human-likethinking

Developments in Artificial Intelligence

1956 John McCarthy states the term "Artificial Intelligence" as the

topic of the Dartmouth Conference, the first conferencededicated to the subject; display of the first running AI program,

the Logic Theorist (LT) written by Newell, J.C. Shaw and Simon

1957 General Problem Solver (GPS) is demonstrated by Newell, Shaw &

Simon1961 James Slagle (PhD dissertation, MIT) wrote (in Lisp) the first

symbolic mixing program, SAINT, which solved calculus problems

at the college freshman level

1963 Thomas Evans' program, ANALOGY, written as part of his PhDwork at MIT, verifies that computers can solve the same analogy

problems as are given on IQ tests


27/32

1967 Richard Greenblatt at MIT builds a knowledge-based chess-

playing program, MacHack, that is so good it achieves aclass-C rating in tournament play

Mid 80's Aaron, an independent drawing program, created by Harold

Cohen, is established at the AAAI National Conference

1990'sMajor advances in all areas of AI, with important

demonstrations in machine learning, intelligent teaching,

case-based way of thinking, multi-agent development,

preparation, uncertain analysis, data removal, natural

verbal communication, kind and translation, dream, virtual

realism, games, and other topics



28/32

1997 Deep Blue, a chess program beats the current world chess

champion, Garry Kasparov, in an extensively followed game

1998 first official Robo-Cup soccer match featuring table-top

matches with 40 teams of interacting robots and over 5000

bystanders

Late 90's -now

so-called "spiders", search engine programs employed bythe likes of Google and Yahoo!, are regularly "crawling" the

web to discover new content to be listed on search engine

websites; cochlear implants have become modern means of

treating severe hearing loss; prosthetics and shoes areregularly outfitted with "thinking" devices that help them

adjust to the wearer

Reflective Questions:

1. Which of the discussed technologies are you using in

your teaching? How?

2. Which of the discussed technologies do you find

helpful and why?3. How can these technologies be our aid in teaching?
