Abstract
It is still too early to expect a solid foundation to the science of computer visualization. This paper was intended both as a review over the field and a view at two specific research ares within the field — as seen from the perspective of a computer scientist. Further research, especially in the areas of data models, perception and intelligent agents as applied to computer visualization, will add much towards a well founded mapping process from “bits and bytes” to “understanding”.
