Reading 8: From Perception to Encodings

by Mike Gleicher on February 10, 2012

(reading due before class on Wednesday, February 22nd)

Encodings are where the theory of perception meets the practice of Vis. The next reading will have a lot about encodings. This chapter makes a nice bridge between the two. (with a lot of overlap with both)

Visual Encoding Principles. Chapter 3 of Tamara Munzner. Information Visualization: Principles, Methods, and Practice. To be published. (chapter here) (whole book on her website)

There is no required “writing” assignment, but feel free to comment on the Piazza page for this post.
