Topic

Visual Rules of the Road for Big Data Practioners

Abstract

In creating data visualizations, an often overlooked component is the visual language that drives the user experience. By this I mean: are there consistent, visual cues that allow the user to unconsciously know how to consume the dashboards and other visualizations that analysts provide? That show them exactly what they need to know to answer the questions they have about the data? This presentation shows via example how to build this navigation language into your visualizations, providing an intuitive user experience via the mechanism of subtle visual cuing.
