How to use visual analytics?

• People remember 80% of what they see and only 20% of what they do;
• Our brain processes visual materials 60,000 times faster than text.

There would be a much higher chance of remembering the above facts if they were presented visually. We will further demonstrate how to confirm it.

‍Our brain processes visual information more quickly so that we can react to it faster and make important decisions. It is the easiest way to obtain and interpret large amounts of data.

Better to see once than to hear ten times

Visual analytics is effective at representing ideas where traditional descriptive statistics fail. This method directly affects productivity and speed of perception.

The easiest example is to present data in an Excel table and the form of graphs. With the help of visual markers such as color, lines, and shape, we immediately see the dynamics and common regularities before even considering the data in more detail.

Visual analytics show the dynamics between compared data sets, find correlations between different periods, help establish the cause and effect relationships, and see positive or negative results.

Why is visual analytics effective?

• You can either focus on a specific parameter or consider all features available within the selected graph.
• The data view updates with each following change.
• You can go back to the original version in a few clicks without losing data.
• Each action is safe because it can be instantly undone.
• Each click does not affect the initial data, only its visual representation.

What are some other uses for visual analytics?
