*1. Introduction*

Visualizations are produced for people to make sense or interact with them.
Rapid advances in display technology and computer power have enabled
researchers to produce visually appealing pictures or compelling visual
environments to end users. However, the effectiveness of those pictures in
conveying embedded information to the users and impact of visual
environments on humans have not been fully understood.

This book addresses issues related to design, evaluation and application of
visualizations from a human centric perspective. This cutting-edge book is
an edited volume whose contributors include experts worldwide, from diverse
disciplines including psychologist, artists, engineers and scientists.

Academics, students, engineers and consultants will find this book useful
for both research and engineering purposes.
