Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Calgary
$200,000.00
Information Visualization
FY 2017-18
Summary
Modern society demands that people manage, communicate and interact with digital information at an ever-increasing pace. While information is a crucial part of people's everyday lives, many people find today's technologies awkward, stressful to use, and overly intrusive in their lives. My long range goal is to design, develop and evaluate interactive information visualizations so that they support people's everyday work and social practices as they interact with information. My primary motivation is to promote information comprehension by creating appropriate tools that can help people negotiate the transformation of vast amounts of information into knowledge in people's everyday lives.
