Although visual interfaces and databases are two of the success stories of the computer revolution, their synergy to date has been modest, probably because visual interfaces have focused on human capabilities while databases have focused on efficient query processing. Unlocking this synergy will shift us from data workers to data thinkers, people who can use data at the speed-of-thought.
This white paper discusses the three problems that must be addressed when trying to do effective visual analysis:
1.Ineffective information presentations
2.Poor exploratory capabilities
3.Difficult user interfaces
