Clarification on the Visualizer's Role #36

Open chocoho opened 11 years ago

chocoho commented 11 years ago

We discussed in class that the visualizer's role is to digest the cleaned data from the other two roles and make it accessible for the presenter and the audience to easily understand. Does that role simply amount to making graphs, charts, etc (in R, or other programs), or would the visualizers be heavily involved in creating the actual presentation itself (for the presenter?) Or is this something flexible that the vertical group members can decide amongst themselves what the visualizer should do?

I'm aware that tristantao has asked a related question, but I am specifically asking about the visualizer's role.

Presenters make presentation. Visualizers help communicate visually (graphs, charts, etc) how the data was analyzed. It will be important for visualizers to communicate with presenters about the file formats, and how they can be translated into the chosen format of the presenters. Their involvement in helping to make the final presentation will certainly make it better.
