This review is from: Hypergraphics: Visualizing complex relationships in art, science, and technology (AAAS selected symposium ; 24) (Hardcover)
The book approaches visualisation from the vantages of art, science and also of technology. Each chapter is contributed by a different author. All discuss problems where relationships can be depicted in some graphical form. A relationship might arise in urban and regional planning, as given in one example. Basically, there is a situation where we have variables in n-dimensions, with n>3. How to meaningfully display this in 2-space or 3-space?To a current reader, the book certainly shows its age; written in 1978. The computer graphics and computational resources then available are so primitive to us now. There are no high resolution colour plates. But a reading of the book can still be profitable. You might get ideas that can now be applied more easily and effectively on today's machines. |
