The goal of data visualization is to help the audience gain information from a large quantity of raw data quickly and efficiently through metaphor, mental model alignment, and cognitive magnification. So far, in this book, we have introduced various techniques to leverage D3 library by implementing many types of visualization. However, we haven't touched a crucial aspect of visualization: human interaction. Various research have concluded the unique value of human interaction in information visualization.

Visualization combined with computational steering allows faster analyses of more sophisticated scenarios...This case study adequately demonstrate that the interaction of a complex model with steering and interactive visualization can extend the applicability of the modelling beyond research
