As we deal with more and more information in the digital era, it becomes increasingly difficult to cognitively process the whole matter in order to make sense out of it. Technological advances – particularly those related to computer speeds, graphics (display) resolution, and storage – have made it possible to evolve computer-based techniques to graphically represent huge amounts of information in a concise and understandable way. The intent of this paper is to present an overview some of past research in the field of information visualization, with emphasis on certain popular techniques, and compare various techniques. I will also try to identify the promising techniques that need further research.
