"Designing Visualizations for Urban Sciences: Challenges and Opportunities"
We have often heard the quote “a picture is worth a thousand words”, the question then is: “which words is it worth?”. In this talk, I will discuss research work in Data Visualization applied to the complex task of designing for spatio-temporal data in urban sciences. I will discuss its power of expression when faced with the challenge of diving through a sea of data when data are not only multidimensional but also multivariate in nature; as well as its limitations when faced with the challenges related to human interpretation. I will show the importance of research in human factors in visualization as a means and strength to create and develop new tools that enhance performances by leveraging human natural abilities.
