Abstract: Information visualization is the science and art of visualizing information that flows around us in many disciplines, intending to make the data more digestible and understandable for non-expert users. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new and somewhat surprising application of the Poly-Universe system, as an educational tool of understanding basic information visualization principles, and filling the symmetric and asymmetric constellations with content-dependent meaning through information-related story-telling.

Keywords: information visualization, Poly-Universe, PUSE, story-telling
