Infovis/Scivis Distinction

is spatialization given (scivis) or chosen (infovis)

my infovis definition
interactive visual representation to help person do a particular task

infovis: not just how, also which
huge space of possibilities: random walk ineffective
strive to create design guidelines, prescriptive advice

separation
now judged by somewhat different criteria
InfoVis Symposium vs. IEEE Visualization
funding bases different
intelligence vs. simulation
