'''Visualization''' or '''visualisation''' (see [[American and British English spelling differences#-ise, -ize (-isation, -ization)|spelling differences]]) is any technique for creating [[image]]s, [[diagram]]s, or [[animation]]s to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of humanity. Examples from history include [[cave painting]]s, [[Egyptian hieroglyphs]], Greek [[geometry]], and [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering and scientific purposes.
Visualization today has ever-expanding applications in science, education, engineering (e.g., product visualization), [[interactive visualization|interactive multimedia]], [[medical visualization|medicine]], etc. Typical of a visualization application is the field of [[computer graphics]]. The invention of computer graphics (and [[3D computer graphics]]) may be the most important development in visualization since the invention of [[perspective projection|central perspective]] in the [[Renaissance]] period. The development of [[animation]] also helped advance visualization.
