Visualisation means making spoken or written information visible by using a different set of symbols, i.e. pictures, structures, and graphics. Visualised information is usually provided to make understanding easier and more easily memorable.
This short definition above highlights the two main purposes of visualisation:
-
it is not meant to replace the spoken or written word but to complement it
-
the aim of visualisation is to make understanding easier and more efficient.
