Leírás

The importance of visualization in human cognition: a historical overview. Types of visualization: information and data visualization, scientific visualization, geovisualization. Human vision: information processing in the eye and brain. Artificial vision. Reference frames in spatial spatial cognition: orientation, wayfinding and navigation. Egocentric and allocentric frames. The development of the category of space and representation ability. Cognitive and mental maps, external and internal spaces, spatial vision, language, memory and learning. Representational tools and human cognitive evolution. Spatialization: abstract and virtual spaces. Graphic space in the Renaissance, linear perspective. The development of geovisualization tools and methods. Data model and representational models: graphs, diagrams, maps. Map as a graphic interface. Methods and techniques of use, user and usability research. Multimodal representations: cartographic multimedia, VR and AR. Scenario, screenplay. Time in cartography: animation and the visualization of spatio-temporal processes. Cognitive design, geovisualization and user interactivity in geoinformatics (HCI). The effectiveness of visualization: designing empirical research studies. Examples of cognitive, user entered design experiments (UCD). Eye tracking: tools, softwares, visualization of data. Designing and implementing an experiment.

Oktatás célja

This course summarize the human cognitive system, especially the relevant problems of visuospatial displays, navigation and spatial cognition to make students able to be involved in cognitively relevant geovisualization UI design and UX research on cartographic representation forms.
