Knowledge visualization - "the use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons" (Burkhard and Meier, 2004), aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non-computerbased visualization methods complementary. Examples of such visual formats are sketches, diagrams, images, objects, interactive visualizations, information visualization applications, imaginary visualizations, stories. While information visualization (IV) concentrates on the use of computer-supported tools to deriv ...

Visual language deals with the presentation and expression of thinking and feeling in visual terms. It extends from the pioneering work of Rudolph Arnheim to the studies by Robert Horn and can include the use of visual expression in the method of active imagination developed by Carl Jung. Visual language can include words, images and shapes in its content. It stems from the proposition th

Visualization is any technique for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of man. Examples from history include cave painting, hieroglyphs, Greek geometry, and Leonardo da Vinci's revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering and scientific purposes. Visualization today has ever-expanding applications in science, engineering Product visualization, all forms ...

A visual binary star is a binary star for which the angular separation between the two components is great enough to permit them to be observed as a double star in a telescope. The resolving power of the telescope is an important factor in the detection of visual binaries, and as telescopes become larger and more powerful an increasing number of visual binaries will be detected. The brightness of the two stars is also an important factor, as brighter stars are harder ...

In comedy, a visual gag or sight gag is anything which conveys its humour visually, often without words being used at all. Visual gags are often used in surreal comedy, with many Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches making use of them, such as the "Mrs Gorilla" sketch in which a series of middle-aged women have been shopping and bought piston engines. Likewise, many elements of the "Hell's Grannies" sketch, featuring Kee ...

The term visual field is sometimes used as a synonym to field of view, though they do not designate the same thing. The visual field is the "spatial array of visual sensations available to observation in introspectionist psychological experiments" (J. Smythies [1]), while field of view "refers to the physical objects and light sources in the external world that impinge the retina". In other words, field of view is everything that (at a given time) causes light to fall onto the retina. This input is processed by the visual sys ...

Visual phototransduction is a process by which light is converted into electrical signals in the rod cells and cone cells of the retina of the eye.

Visual perception is one of the senses, consisting of the ability to detect light and interpret (see) it as the perception known as sight or naked eye vision. Vision has a specific sensory system, the visual system. There is disagreement as to whether or not this constitutes one, two or even three distinct senses. Some people make a distinction between "black and white" vision and the perception of colour, and others point out that vision using rod cells uses different physical detectors on the retina from ...

The visual arts are a class of artforms, including painting, sculpture, photography, and others, that focus on the creation of artworks which are primarily visual in nature. The visual arts are distinguished from the performing arts, language arts, culinary arts, and other such classes of artwork. The definition is not strict, and many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the visual arts as well other types. In Britain until recently the fine arts—painting, sculpture, printmaking, et cetera—were seen as distinct from cra ...

Visual flight is the control of an aircraft by using the view from the aircraft as the primary reference point. A pilot observes the outside world and uses the flight controls to take the aircraft safely to the place they want to go. The alternative is to fly the aircraft primarily using feedback from onboard instruments such as an artificial horizon. Except in the simplest aircraft, such as ultralight aicraft, hang gliders or balloons, a pilot almost always makes some reference to instruments to determine their exact speed or altitude. A complex aircraft, such as a military jet or an airliner is f ...

Constant visual observation, often abbreviated to "constant visual", is a term used in various Mental Health Services, Prisons and Special Schools to describe the status of a service user who poses a threat to themselves or a third party, and must therefore be kept under constant observation. In some jurisdictions, constant visual observations include a specification that a professional remains within one metre of the service user at all times. Constant visual observations have been criticised by many service user groups ...

Visual loss results in the absence of vision where it existed before, which can happen either acutely (i.e. abruptly) or chronically (i.e. over a long period of time). The effects of visual loss can, before the acquisition of alternative adaptations and skills, be devastating; especially when a person's vision disappears over a short period of time. Visual loss - Acute visual loss. Acute visual loss may be dramatic in presentation, and is almost always alarming to the person experiencing the loss. It ...

Visual cortex is the term applied to both the primary visual cortex (also known as striate cortex or "V1") and upstream visual cortical areas also known as extrastriate cortical areas (V2, V3, V4, V5). The primary visual cortex is anatomically equivalent to Brodmann area 17, or BA17. Brodmann areas are based on a histological map of the human brain created by Korbinian Brodmann. The visual cortex occupies about one third of the surface of the cerebral cortex in humans. It is thou ...

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer language that can be viewed as an evolution of Microsoft's Visual Basic (VB) implemented on the Microsoft .NET framework. Its introduction has been controversial, as significant changes were made that broke backward compatibility with VB and caused a rift within the developer community that may or may not be resolved with the introduction of Visual Studio 2005. The vast majority of VB.NET developers use Visual Studio .NET, although SharpDevelop provides an open-so ...

Visual memory is a part of memory preserving some characteristics of our senses pertaining to visual experience. We are able to place in memory information that resembles objects, places, animals or people in sort of a mental image. Some authors refer to this experience as an “our mind's eye” through which we can retrieve from our memory a mental image of the original object, place, animal or person. The first scientist to give serious consideration to visual imagery was Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911) in the field of indivi ...
