A pair of classes will be going on August 10-14th as part of the Summer Institute at Wallenberg Hall.
- Data Visualization: Theory and Practice . August 10-11. The goals of the workshop are to provide both a practical and theoretical introduction to visualization. This will include a primer in the underlying perceptual principles, and presentations describing the use of visualization in various domains, including visual analytics / business intelligence, geometric modeling, and online information visualization. Participants will be guided in hands-on design exercises.
- Collaborative Visualization for Collective, Connective, and Distributive Intelligence . August 12-14. This workshop will bring together visualization vanguards from the leading edge of science mapping, collaborative visual sensemaking, social network analysis and the emerging semantic web. Surrounded by the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science Exhibition at Wallenberg Hall and dynamic maps from Stanford’s Spatial History Project and the Human-Computer Interaction Lab, visual thinkers from four departments on campus, designers and special guests will share a series of case studies of their work to gain a synthetic perspective on the future of visualization for connective intelligence.
