What Is Software Visualization?
Visualization (Visualization) is a theory, method, and technology that uses computer graphics and image processing technology to convert data into graphics or images for display on the screen, and then performs interactive processing.
- Loyal to the spokesperson's language: The spoken words of the speaker can only be truthfully recorded. They should be spoken and not overly processed or written.
- When it is possible to use graphics, use graphics and sketching whenever possible.
- Take both efficiency into account: Facilitators who are not good at drawing can take the form of written records.
- Most use large white paper for recording (or A1 format large white paper, or poster paper, or a special 56cm × 85cm whiteboard paper. Note that it is a "whiteboard-paper" for whiteboards, not a "white-boardpaper" dedicated to the printing industry. ", Because the latter is cardboard, it s amazingly thick, heavy, and inconvenient to use).
- Depending on the situation, post-it (or "post-it") will be used in combination, especially when it is necessary to move the discussion content, it will be more convenient to adopt post-it.
- Make good use of colors: The most commonly used method is to use 3 or more colors of whiteboard pens, so that all participants can see clearly. The purpose of each color is generally specified in a unified style. Commonly used methods: blue pen to write the title, black pen to write the text, red pen to mark / revise, etc. Reasons for not using markers: To avoid unintentional contamination and difficult cleaning.
- Attention to details: The font should be large enough. If the number of participants reaches 30 or more, consider that the last row of people should be able to see the text clearly. It is recommended to use Kaiti or Xingkai to avoid unrecognizable fonts such as cursive. Anti-rotation, keep uniform and beautiful, avoid disturbing thinking.
- Show the whole picture: The topics involved in many discussions include multiple elements, one of which will affect many other elements. Without visualization, you can't see the whole picture, nor can you have a real discussion.
- Enhance understanding, facilitate dialogue, exploration, and communication.
- Simplify complexity and enhance inspection.
- Handling dissent: In the course of discussion, when there are different opinions, the two sides of the argument will gradually ease their emotions when they see that their opinions are recorded and displayed to the public.
- Since it was proposed in 1987, scientific computing visualization has been widely used and developed in various engineering and computer fields.
- The development of computer graphics in recent years has led to the formation of three-dimensional representation technologies. These three-dimensional representation technologies enable us to reproduce objects in the three-dimensional world and to represent complex information with three-dimensional shapes. This technology is called visualization technology.
- Currently developing virtual reality technology, which can enable people to enter a three-dimensional, multimedia virtual world, people can tour the castles of ancient times, or travel the vast space. All these depend on the development of computer graphics and computer visualization technology.

Introduction to Visualization
- When facilitating a seminar, always keep in mind: the principles of visualization.
- As far as short-term memory is concerned, adults can only memorize 7 ± 2 opinions / things / details / elements at a time. Adults ca nt remember too many opinions one by one. Focus everyone's attention on the direction of thinking and innovation.
- Visualization is an important principle whether it is a seminar for the purpose of reaching consensus, a seminar for creative ideas, or a combination of the two.
Visual definition
- Record the speaker's point of view in a timely manner, called "visualization", that is, transforming the formally published point of view (sound) into text or graphics / stick figures / sketches. Other visualization methods: use a projector to project a single page of PPT / PDF / pictures / EXECL in front of all participants; if PPT / PDF / pictures / words are multiple pages, or the projection cannot display complete information at once (such as EXECL form), which should be printed out and presented to all participants.
