EagerEyes is Robert Kosara's place to reflect on the world of information visualization and visual communication of data. The goal is to help digest things that are happening in the field and discuss developments that may be tangential or early, but that are likely to have an impact.
The original idea for the site involved the interplay of art and science in visualization. While the focus has shifted, questions of representation are touched upon regularly. In fact, I believe that visualization can be vastly improved by a better understanding issues of representation and reading of data.
Other topics of interest include visualization for the masses, open data, and where the field of visualization is heading. Criticism of visualization techniques and applications, websites, and books is also a regular feature. Discussions of visualization techniques provide insights into the thinking behind them. During conferences (VisWeek, in particular), the site is also used for live micro-blogging.
Carlos Lizarraga Celaya on 12 Oct 10Knowledge acquisition, its exchange, and communication within innovative technologies are the core research topics at the Knowledge Media Research Center in Tuebingen. Study matters are classic forms of teaching as well as in-class education in higher education and school domains, together with possibilities of learning in informal settings, as in museums, the internet and workspaces. A multidisciplinary team of highly trained scientists from cognitive and educational sciences, human behavioral sciences and social sciences is completed by experts from media technology and computer science. By cooperating closely with public and private institutions and by transferring research results into real world applications, the institute makes a substantial contribution to enable innovative media-based teaching and learning scenarios.
