BIT307 Data Visualisation and Analysis

This unit introduces the concepts of data visualisation and analysis, the art and science of turning data into readable graphics, and making inference. Students will explore how to design and create data visualisations based on data, and obtain meaning interpretations and analysis. This process includes data modelling, data processing (such as aggregation and filtering), mapping data attributes to graphical attributes, and strategic visual encoding based on known properties of visual perception as well as the task(s) at hand. Students will also learn to evaluate the effectiveness of immersive visualisations using augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies. They will also be able to create their own visualisations and analyse pipeline for data corresponding to real world application settings.
