Georgia Tech research shapes data literacy and usability at IEEE VIS 2018

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Digital data is a growing type of currency, offering insights for transforming businesses and organizations, allowing better decision making, and answering questions people didn’t even know they had. Data transactions are as common as convenience store purchases, yet the costs of those transactions are very different. 

Information visualization researchers at Georgia Tech are developing ways people can better understand the world’s data and how to interpret its meaning through techniques that can surface key insights and make the data meaningful to users.
