As a subject in computer science, information visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition.
Important aspects of information visualization are the interactivity and dynamics of the visual representation.

 NIST Information Retrieval Visualization Engine (NIRVE)
The NIST Information Retrieval Visualization Engine (NIRVE) is a 3-dimensional interface designed to enhance the information retrieval process by providing an overview of a set of text documents as well as access to the details of the individual documents through seamless user navigation and manipulation.
Therefore, the task for the visualization back-end is not to attempt further automatic processing, but rather to empower the user to browse, re-categorize and filter the documents at hand.
The primary information represented for each document is its concept profile, but other properties may also be displayed (see "Iconic Representation").

Information visualization (or infoviz) software groups a wider range of results according to visual cues such as color, size, and shape in order to help us analyze results at a glance and judge what to overlook and what to examine.
The visually inclined user sets text, range, color, and site-type filters before entering a term into the search box and clicking "grok." The grok might take a few seconds if the search is in the computer's cache or up to a minute for a phrase not attempted before.

 ISR - Information Visualization
UCI research in information visualization focuses on the development and empirical analysis of methods for presenting abstract information in visual form.
The visual display of information allows people to become more easily aware of essential facts, to quickly see regularities and outliers in data, and therefore to develop a deeper understanding of data.
Interactive visualization additionally takes advantage of people's ability to also identify interesting facts when the visual display changes, and allows them to manipulate the visualization or the underlying data to explore such changes.
