Visual Information
Visual information: Representing information and
the connections between concepts visually is a
powerful tool for making meaning and expressing
personal understandings.

information is a shared activity.

Visual Search Engines
Conceptually different to a textual search engine
and connect with the user on a different level.
Manipulate the data to express individual
creativity and link concepts in a manner that is
meaningful on a personal level
Generally visual search engines use well known

www.bing.com as their base.
They are slower than a standard text search
engine because they have to both do a standard
search and then represent the information
graphically.
