Course/Module description:
The course attempts to characterize the optimal way to present multi-dimensional information in two modalities: Data Visualization and Data Sonification (i.e. using auditory representations)
The course focuses on tools for converting rich and dynamic information such as activity in social networks, multi-channel information, etc.
In the first part of the course we will discuss the characteristics of successful visualizations and sonifications and how they relate to the constraints of the human perceptual and cognitive systems.
In the second part of the course we will adopt a computational approach to examine how to simplify large amounts of data by using dimensional reduction techniques.
The course is open to students of the combined program of Bezalel and computer science.
Other students who wish to participate in the course will seek approval from
