Abstract

One form of information visualization is called ambient display. It is defined as the use of aesthetically pleasing displays of information which sit on the periphery of a user's attention (Manko, Dey, Hsieh, Kientz, Lederer and Ames 2003).Financial visualization is the practice of making large financial datasets into images.In this paper, we describe a research project which uses watercolor images to represent the real-time changes in stock price and volume.
