Data Visualization in Realtime: Insights from the Operating Room

How do you design a visualization for situations when minutes (or seconds!) matter? Integrating highly dynamic data when decisions need to be made quickly presents unique challenges: What should be included? What should be left out? In this talk, I’ll discuss lessons learned from developing surgical imaging devices for the operating room and the design considerations for creating visualizations that are intuitive, efficient, and accurate.
