Benefits of Information Visualization
Information visualization facilitates comprehension, intuition, conclusions, narratives and participation by transforming intricate sets of data into simple but eye-catching images.
The following are the key Benefits of information visualization:
- Makes complicated data easy to understand: It converts complex numbers and statistics into simpler pictures and charts. This helps people to understand better.
- Identify insights and patterns: By visualizing data, simplifying it leads to more visible hidden insights and patterns. These “insights” would have been difficult to find in raw data.
- Better decision-making: People make faster and sounder decisions if they have simplified data along with insights. Visualized data that is easy to comprehend assists in identifying improved options.
- Narration: Complex data is transformed into a well-coordinated story or flow of information thus making it stick better in one’s mind through simple graphs or pictures.
- Encourage audience participation: Colorful displays of information are far more likely than mere columns of numbers or text walls to draw attention and hold interest
